Explanation:
If you could send a
message to an alien civilization, what would you say?
The people from the
Cosmic Call project sent the
above image as the first page of a longer message.
The
message
was broadcast
toward local stars by
radio telescope during the summer of 1999.
Another message was sent in 2003.
The single-dish, 70 meter diameter telescope that send the messages is located in
Ukraine on the
Crimean peninsula near the town of
of Evpatoria.
This first page of the
Cosmic Call 1999 message, shown above, involves only numbers and so is
easier for puzzle solvers to decode than a
more famous message broadcast
toward distant star cluster M13 in 1974.
(The solution is
here.)
