in the Milky Way A radio telescope surveys the heavens, listening to sounds from space sent by intelligent beings far away. Any such signals will probably originate from another planet within the Milky Way galaxy. Shown here is a planet with clear signs of a technologically advanced civilization: lights on the dark side of the planet in a uniform pattern unlikely to have been made by natural processes.

Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Get a Print! A radio telescope similar to the 70-meter antenna at Goldstone, California points toward the sky, listening for radio waves from space originating from intelligent life. A bright star shines far away in space. Molecules and cells emanate from this star, representing the life on this distant planet.

In a future era of space travel and colonization, humankind has settled on the satellite of a Jupiter-like planet. The moon has an atmosphere very much like Earth's and the sunset glows with familiar colors. A city can be seen in the distance. A large radio telescope has been constructed on the floor of a shallow crater so that research in this field might continue.
In honor of the knowledge gained and discoveries made by radio telescopes on the home planet Earth, a design was chosen similar to the 85-foot antenna at Green Bank, West Virginia.

Detail In the Milky Way are molecules containing the four basic elements necessary for life as we know it to begin: Hydrogen gas, Ammonia, Water, and Methane. The radio transmission is received by the Arecibo telescope, represented by the platform positioned over the Earth near Puerto Rico. The eyes represent the life form on the unknown planet. Comets, which may play a part in the origin of life, form the eyebrows.
