O searches to see whether extra-terrestrial civilizations are sending any digitally recorded music our way
O searches for Trans-Neptunian objects, small icy bodies in the outer solar system, whose orbits sometimes
resemble Pluto's
O takes images and spectra of millions of objects, to find the positions and redshifts of as many galaxies and quasars
as possible
