A Message From Earth
This message was broadcast from Earth towards the globular star cluster M13 in 1974. During the dedication of the Arecibo Observatory, a string of 1's and 0's representing this diagram was sent. This attempt at extraterrestrial communication was mostly ceremonial. Humanity regularly broadcasts radio and television signals out into space accidentally.
