SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) utilized the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to study HIP 116454b, an exoplanet 180 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. This exoplanet measures 2.5 times the diameter of Earth and was the first discovery made by Kepler in its rebooted "K2" mission. However, this planet doesn't seem to host any life or at least any technologically advanced life because we haven't been able to detect any radio singles coming off of it. Just because this search wasn't a success doesn't mean we have to give up but in stead put more of an effort into trying to find alien life on other planets. This exoplanet is the first of many attempts of trying to find life on other planets.
