“A Cosmic Call to Nearby Stars” is copyrighted by Yuvan Dutil & Stephane Dumas. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn 1999, the Cosmic Call project broadcast a message from the Evpatoria radio telescope in Ukraine towards nearby stars. This image, made of numbers, was the first page of that message. The 70-meter dish transmitted this information, hoping an alien civilization might decode it. This page was designed to be simpler to interpret than previous interstellar messages.
