Actually to a planet scientists have determined may be suitable to life. The planet, known to astronomers as Gliese 581C, was sent over 500 images, text messages and drawings by way of a radar telescope that usually tracks asteroids.
Scientists selected Gliese 581C because data shows it may have the conditions necessary to support life. But a reply may not be forthcoming even if life does exist on Gliese 581C. Since the planet is 20 light-years away, any returned communications would arrive back to Earth in about 40 years.
Social networking site Bebo selected the 500 messages from a multitude submitted after the site asked its 12 million members to submit messages they would like to convey to other interplanetary life forms.
Bebo spokesperson Oli Madgett said the messages launched at 6:00 am GMT on October 9 from the National Space Agency of Ukraine’s radar telescope in Evpatoria. He said the messages “passed the Moon in 1.7 seconds, Mars in just four minutes and will leave our Solar System before breakfast tomorrow” on their way to a 120 trillion mile journey.
