1 Richard B, Chad H, Stephen G Listen and Communicate with Intelligent Life

2 How do we want to be remembered?

3 1820: Carl Friedrich Gauss - reflecting sunlight towards the planets, giant triangle in the Siberian forest 1840: Joseph von Littrow - light a 30 km wide canal ablaze with kerosene 1869: Charles Cros - use a parabolic mirror to flash messages 1974: Frank Drake - First radio message "Arecibo Message" Gold plates on Pioneer 10 and 11 Golden record on Voyagers 1 and 2 Social Network Bebo broadcasts 501 user submitted messages Cosmic Calls 1 and 2 Early Broadcast Attempts

4 Arecibo Message Broadcast on November 16th 1974 from the Arecibo radio telescope. Aimed toward globular star cluster M13. M13 is 25,000 light years away.

7 Nucleotides Deoxyribose Adenine Thymine Deoxyribose Phosphate Deoxyribose Cytosine Guanine Deoxyribose Phosphate H C N O P

8 Double Helix DNA Pictorial representation of double helix. 2 middle rows represent approx. 4.3 billion in binary to represent number of nucleotides.

9 Humanity Middle: Representation of a human Left: Average human height Right: Human population

10 Solar System Give location of earth and general not to scale size representation.

11 Telescope Top section is a pictograph of the telescope emphasizing the parabolic shape Bottom 2 rows communicate the telescopes diameter

12 1960 – Frank Drake 1960’s – Soviets 1970’s – American Astronomers 1992 – NASA’s Ames Research Center –Jet Propulsion Laboratory 1995 – SETI Institute Project Phoenix Allen Telescope Array 1999 – UC Berkeley SETI@home SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)

13 43 X 135 3 Radio Frequencies Visual, Informational, and Musical Compartments H.E.Y. Message

14 Why Radio Waves? Radio Waves have a long wavelength Dust in space or atmospheric conditions can decay short wavelengths more easily. Insignificant radio background. Cosmic microwave radiation is 7.35 cm.
