Arecibo message and decoded key C016 / 6817
Arecibo message and decoded key. Diagram showing the binary transmission (left) known as the Arecibo message, with the message decoded and labelled at centre and right. This message was broadcast on 16 November 1974 by the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, USA. The message was aimed at the M13 globular star cluster (25, 000 light years distant). The broadcast lasted less than three minutes and consisted of 1679 binary digits. The seven parts of the message were (from top): the numbers 1-10, elemental atomic numbers for DNA, nucleotide formulae for DNA, double helix of DNA, a human figure, the solar system, and the transmitting telescope

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Arecibo message and its decoded key, providing a glimpse into humanity's attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence. Taken in 1974 at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, USA, this image captures the essence of our fascination with space exploration and our desire to connect with other civilizations. The Arecibo message was an extraordinary binary transmission broadcasted towards the M13 globular star cluster, located a staggering 25,000 light years away. Lasting less than three minutes, this groundbreaking transmission consisted of 1679 binary digits meticulously arranged into seven distinct parts. Intriguingly depicted on the left side of the photograph is the original binary transmission itself – a complex pattern representing various elements such as DNA atomic numbers and nucleotide formulae. In contrast, at the center and right of the image lies its remarkable decoding: a clear illustration labeling each component of this interstellar missive. From numerical sequences to depictions of human figures and even our solar system, every element within this message was carefully chosen to convey information about Earth's population and technological advancements. This awe-inspiring artwork serves as both an astrophysical marvel and a testament to human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded that despite being separated by vast distances in space-time, humanity continues to reach out across cosmic realms in search of connection with beings beyond our own planet.
