Did you know�
50 years ago today, on November 16, 1974, humanity first attempted to communicate with extraterrestrials, sending a radio message into outer space from the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico. The transmission, created by astronomers Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, consisted of a simple, visual message aimed at possible intelligent life in the globular star cluster called Messier 13. This cluster, located in the Hercules constellation, is at the edge of the Milky Way, some 21,000 light years from Earth.

The message was a 1679-bit transmission, arranged into 73 lines of 23 characters per line (these are both prime numbers, and may help the aliens decode the message). The "ones" and "zeroes" were transmitted by frequency shifting at the rate of 10 bits per second. The total broadcast duration was less than three minutes. The message included the formula for DNA, a crude diagram of the solar system, a drawing of the Arecibo telescope, and a stick figure of a human. No reply was ever expected to the message, which was more intended as a proof of concept and an exercise in designing communications to bridge space, time, and a presumably wide culture gap.

The Arecibo Observatory's telescope was the world's largest single-aperture telescope for 53 years, until it was surpassed in July 2016 by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) in Guizhou, China. Having sustained significant damage from hurricanes during the 2010s, the Arecibo Telescope suffered a fatal cable break and collapsed on December 1, 2020.
