About: Arecibo Observatory message   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The message is still traveling through space as of today, and it is highly improbable that it has passed any stars with planets orbiting them. Even if it has passed an extrasolar planet, the odds are very slim that any intelligent, if that, organisms reside on the planet. And, by pushing it, it is even slimmer that the intelligent species has already advanced to picking up radio signals. Since the destination, M13, is 25,000 light-years away from Earth, it will take 25,000 years for the signal to reach it. The message was sent at about "a million times stronger than the typical TV transmission". It is stronger than the Sun's radio waves and could be recieved through technology similar to that of the radio telescopes of Earth.
