title: [Current considerations around the search for extraterrestrial life].
abstract: In this paper, the current cosmological topics are considered: a) The fourth centenary celebration of Giordano Bruno's death at the Roman's inquisition stake. This eminent philosopher, based on the Coppernican Revolution, concibed the Cosmos as a infinite universe with innumerable inhabited worlds. He acted on reason to believe not only in extraterrestrial life but in extraterrestrial intelligent life. Here we write a few words in his memory and honour. b) The active project SETI@home in the framework of today's classic program "Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence", by means of the reception of radioelectrical signals. c) Search for extrasolar planets.
