French CNES transmits Cosmic Connexion to either to Errai or 47 Ursa Majoris?
(A little late with this but...)
I stumbled on this in another article which said that on Sept. 30, '06 the French Center for National Space Studies (CNES) may have beamed public submitted art, text, graphics, music and sounds and what appears to have been part public-interest building, part edu-tainment show called Cosmic Connexion, "...a TV program aimed at extraterrestrials...", at an "earthlike" star called Errai (which I believe is actually known as the binary star system Gamma Cephei) 45 light-years from Earth. There was a seemingly contrary reference on one of their sites to sending the message to "47 Ursa Major" which I take to mean the known multi-planet system 47 Ursae Majoris. Check out the websites related websites (2 of which can be found in English) at: http://www.cnes.fr/web/4374-projet-cosmic-connexion.php http://www.arte.tv/cosmicconnexion http://www.cosmicconnexion.com/static/index.html Carl Sagan once posed the question "Who speaks for Earth?" It seems that the answer is anybody! Perhaps this is so elsewhere? Keep on searchin'! Jason |
