A Message from Earth
In 1974, a message was broadcast from Earth toward the globular star cluster M13. This diagram of 1s and 0s was sent from the Arecibo Observatory during an upgrade dedication. While mostly ceremonial, it was an early attempt at extraterrestrial communication. Humanity regularly sends accidental radio and television signals into space.
