You are operating a SETI scanner attached to the radio telescope shown in the figure. You have tuned the telescope’s radio receiver to the frequency 1570 Mhz and you are tracking the star, Alpha Centauri. Suddenly, you are alerted by the computer scanner that is processing the signals from the telescope that the receiver is picking up a signal that has a periodic structure and therefore is of possible intelligent origin! The received signal exhibits a high-low amplitude modulation and your computer concludes that it represents a repeating string of binary digits, 0 when the signal amplitude is low and 1 when it is high for a given interval of time. The repeating string of binary digits is displayed for you on your computer terminal.  It is shown below. Decode the message, if you can. What information is contained in the message?  In particular, answer the following questions …

 

 

 

8.    (9 points) Display the message in a way that demonstrates that it has information content.

       Note … you will need to attach an extra paper to this assignment to display the decoded message!

9.    (2 point)  How many planets are there in the alien’s solar system? ___________________________________________________________

10.  (2 point)  What type planets make it up and how many of each type are there? _________________________________________________

11.  (2 point)  Which planet is the home base of the alien civilization? ____________________________________________________________

12.  (2 points) Describe the alien that sent the message (what does it look like?). ___________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

13.  (1 points) What is its height in feet and inches? _________________________________________________________________________

14.  (1 points) What elements make up the most abundant gasses in its atmosphere? ________________________________________________

15.  (1 point) What element is the basis of the alien’s chemistry? ______________________________________________________________

16.  (1 point) What substance dominates the surface of its home planet? ________________________________________________________

 

You must explain how you arrived at these conclusions!  Guesses will not do!
