To ensure that the message reaches aliens, if any, the astrophysicists will beam it to a dense cluster of stars which lie near the centre of the Milky Way. The team aims to broadcast the binary message into the Milky Way’s galactic center using the California-based Seti Institute’s Allen Telescope Array and China’s 500-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope. This project is being led by Jonathan Jiang from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Interestingly, the scientists have also encoded the coordinates for aliens to accurately pinpoint the position of Earth in the universe. Named the ‘Beacon in the Galaxy’, the cipher consists of principles of communication, concepts of math and physics and even DNA constituents. For all these possibilities, Live Science has you covered. According to a report by The Guardian, a team of international scientists led by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has prepared a new message that the experts want to beam near the centre of the Milky Way.
