.On November 16, 1974, human beings delivered their 1st notification to the stars in a try to talk to extraterrestrials. They performed this using what was actually then the most extensive radio telescope on the planet, located at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. A team of researchers led by Frank Drake and also Carl Sagan sent their notification to the M13 star cluster.
The notification was filled in binary code as well as included relevant information about individual DNA. It likewise featured numbers of an individual, the planetary system and also the Arecibo telescope. The concept was actually that if any kind of aliens were actually to obtain the indicator and also figure out just how to translate it, they would know where it arised from.
Given that M13 is 25,000 light-years away, it will definitely take 25,000 years for any sort of M13 invaders to hear our notification– if they are flatten there. The Arecibo message is only one of numerous messages wanted for extraterrestrials. We have also featured information on a number of space capsule, including Trailblazer and also Voyager.
