Word of the Day- CETI is an acronym meaning communication with extraterrestrial life. The idea is to transmit messages that could theoretically be decoded by other intelligent civilizations. One of the most famous CETI attempt was done by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake at Arecibo observatory, in 1974. They transmitted a message from the Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico of 1769 binary digits which form a picture when placed in sequence which can be seen here. We have as of this writing not received any known transmissions from this or any other CETI attempts.
Question of the Day: If you could communicate with extraterrestrial life, what would you say???
