A message in a bottle written by Australian soldiers during World War I was found on an Australian beach over a century later, providing a rare glimpse into the soldiers' experiences and connecting their families to the past.
NASA has unveiled the design for a special message heading to Jupiter's moon Europa aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft, including a metal plate with an engraving of a poem and over 2.6 million names, as well as recordings of the word "water" spoken in 103 languages. The spacecraft aims to explore Europa's potential to support life by making close flybys and gathering data about its subsurface ocean, icy crust, and thin atmosphere. The mission's detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the potential for habitable worlds beyond Earth.
Researchers are considering creating new editions of Voyager's Golden Records, which were launched into space in 1977 as a message to potential intelligent life. The Golden Records contain sounds and images that represent life on Earth, and the researchers propose updating the content to reflect current technology and times. They suggest including a scroll with simple images for less advanced recipients and a small minicomputer for more advanced recipients. The goal is to share humanity's collective knowledge, emotions, innovations, and aspirations in a way that provides a universal understanding of human society and our hopes for the future. The researchers also emphasize the importance of considering the recipient's perspective and including a timestamp to indicate when the message was launched. The new Golden Records would serve as a time capsule and a testament to humanity's journey and aspirations.
NASA is inviting the public to submit their names for engraving on the Europa Clipper spacecraft, which will be sent on a mission to Jupiter. The spacecraft will investigate whether Europa's ocean beneath its icy crust can support life. The mission is set to launch in 2024 and aims to reach Jupiter orbit in 2030. Along with the names, a poem by US Poet Laureate Ada Limón titled 'In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa' will also be engraved on the spacecraft. This initiative follows NASA's previous efforts to send messages from Earth to space aboard its Voyager spacecraft in the 1970s.
NASA is inviting people to submit their names to be included on a microchip that will be sent to Jupiter's moon Europa aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft in 2024. Europa is believed to have the potential to support life due to its liquid ocean beneath the icy surface. The spacecraft will also carry a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón. The deadline for name submissions is December 31, 2023.
NASA is inviting space enthusiasts to submit their names to be engraved on a microchip that will be placed aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft, set to launch in October 2024. Over 700,000 names have been submitted so far, and they will be etched alongside a poem by US poet Ada Limon. The spacecraft will travel 1.8 billion miles over six years, collecting data on Europa's atmosphere, icy crust, and subsurface ocean to determine its potential for supporting life. The project aims to inspire and ignite people's imaginations, similar to the Voyager spacecraft's time capsule in 1977.
