.On November 16, 1974, people delivered their 1st message to the stars in a try to contact extraterrestrials. They performed this using what was at that point the biggest radio telescope worldwide, positioned at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. A group of researchers led through Frank Drake and Carl Sagan sent their message to the M13 star cluster.
The notification was actually recorded binary code as well as included information regarding human DNA. It additionally featured bodies of an individual, the solar system as well as the Arecibo telescope. The idea was actually that if any kind of aliens were actually to get the indicator and find out how to translate it, they will know where it came from.
Considering that M13 is 25,000 light-years away, it is going to take 25,000 years for any M13 aliens to hear our notification– if they are even out there certainly. The Arecibo information is only one of a number of notifications planned for e.t.s. Our experts have actually additionally featured information on a number of spacecraft, like Pioneer as well as Voyager.
