Message to Voyager

Message to Voyager is catalogued in this registry as an emission, held in the frame of Earth, from A Profile of Humanity (P. Quast).

Registry id QST_IRM_MESSAGE_TO_VOYAGER · source layer quast · provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented

Exists from 2017-09-05 00:00:00 UTC (JD 2458001.5) — no end date is recorded.

Open Message to Voyager in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
