.On November 16, 1974, humans delivered their very first notification to the stars in an attempt to speak to space beings. They performed this using what was at that point the largest broadcast telescope worldwide, located at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. A team of researchers led through Frank Drake and also Carl Sagan sent their information to the M13 star cluster.
The message was recorded binary code and contained information regarding individual DNA. It additionally included numbers of a human, the planetary system and also the Arecibo telescope. The suggestion was that if any type of invaders were actually to acquire the sign and also figure out just how to decipher it, they will understand where it came from.
Since M13 is 25,000 light-years away, it is going to take 25,000 years for any kind of M13 invaders to hear our message– if they are flatten there certainly. The Arecibo information is only one of numerous messages intended for extraterrestrials. Our team have likewise featured messages on several space probe, including Pioneer and also Voyager.
