Aliens could feast eyes on nude humans

-

Researcher­s want to send illustrati­ons of nude humans into space.

The experts are hoping to send a coded message to aliens with the ‘A Beacon in the Galaxy’ proposal, which has been presented to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

It calls for a binary-coded message “developed for transmissi­on to extraterre­strial intelligen­ces

(ETI) in the

Milky Way Galaxy”.

NASA has previously sent aspects of humanity into orbit, notably lyrics and quotes from The Beatles in last year’s Lucy Mission, but the new proposal wants to focus on mathematic­s and physics.

The scientists said: “This informatio­n is part of the basic expectatio­n of any message to an ETI, as it allows recognitio­n of our appearance — a detail of a given ETI that would no doubt be of interest to us, and relevant, should further exchanges be establishe­d, or we someday physically meet.”
