On August 15, 1983, two Japanese astronomers from the University of Tokyo, Masaki Morimoto and Hisashi Hirabayashi drank whiskey, made their way to the Stanford University Telescope and sent a message in the form of 13 drawings to Altair, which is in the constellation of the Eagle about 16.8 light years from Earth.

And recently, a team of astronomers led by Shinya Narusava fr...
