If there are aliens out there, what would you say to them if you just had a tiny grid of blocks for your message? Would you draw a picture like the Arecibo Message, or try something else? The Arecibo Observatory broadcasted an interstellar radio message into outer space in 1974 to celebrate the newly remodeled Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico. Use this mini-game to create your own unique interstellar message using black and white or colorful blocks. Then turn this message into sounds when each block bit is translated into a sound.
