Today we are celebrating the 44th anniversary of the Arecibo message.
But what actually is the Arecibo message. Any idea guys?
Actually, until today even I didn’t have any idea of this. But as I saw a post in google, I surfed about it. So I wanted to tell you guys about it. And that is why I am publishing this post.
Arecibo message is an interstellar radio message sent to the globular star cluster M13. It was casted on the M13 on the 16th of November in the year 1974 to the extraterrestrial intelligence( probably aliens) with some message about the humans and about humanity.
It is a coded message with 1679 binary digits. it is fascinating to know that it will take 25,000 years for the message to reach the targeted destination. So, the intent of sending this message was to achieve something in human technology rather than just communicate with the extraterrestrial beings.
I am actually fascinated at times in knowing how humans could think with such different and beautiful perspectives.
I wish the message reaches the extraterrestrials right now. And then we could probably expect them here on earth.
Let’s wait and watch…
