The message to outer-space civilizations

With the help of one of the most powerful space radio telescopes, more than 500 photos, pictures and text messages were sent to the space. The message is directed to the planet that is situated at the distance more than 20 light years from Earth because scientists consider that there may be an outer-space civilization on this planet.

The radio telescope used to watch the asteroids was used with other purposes. It is able to make the contacts and to exchange the information with technical satellites and interplanetary stations in limits of the Solar System. This radio telescope can be also used to explore distant objects of the space.

The planet to which the message was send is called Gliese 581C, where according to scientists aliens may live. Any message sent in response may be delivered to Earth not earlier than in 40 years.
