Description

In 1974, the Arecibo radio telescope transmitted a message toward M 13, intended to communicate the existence of human intelligence to hypothetical extraterrestrials inside the cluster. The reasoning behind the selection of M 13 as the target for the message was that with a higher star density, the message had a greater chance of reaching a planet harboring intelligent life.
