.On November 16, 1974, humans sent their initial notification to the superstars in an effort to contact extraterrestrials. They performed this utilizing what was at that point the largest radio telescope on earth, located at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. A group of scientists led by Frank Drake as well as Carl Sagan delivered their information to the M13 star cluster.
The notification was filled in binary code and also contained relevant information concerning individual DNA. It additionally included amounts of a human, the solar system and the Arecibo telescope. The idea was that if any aliens were to obtain the signal and also figure out exactly how to decode it, they will understand where it arised from.
Because M13 is 25,000 light-years away, it will take 25,000 years for any M13 invaders to hear our notification– if they are actually flatten there certainly. The Arecibo message is actually a single of numerous information intended for space beings. We have also consisted of messages on a number of space capsule, including Pioneer and also Voyager.
