LOS ANGELES - A California institute plans to again start operating equipment used to listen for signs of intelligent life in space by collecting private donations in the place of money lost from government cuts.

In April, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute found it could no longer afford to operate its $30 million radio telescope array, which was designed to hear potential signals from alien life forms.

Faced with that situation, officials with the nonprofit institute in northern California's Mountain View decided to solicit donations. This week, they said the total raised had surpassed $200,000, the amount of their original goal.
