The idea was to mimic an encoded radio signal from an ET source and check whether someone could decode it.  It was beamed from ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) in May 2023.It was intercepted by three radio astronomy observatories on Earth. The challenge was first to extract the message from the raw data of the radio signal, and secondly to decode it. In just 10 days, a community of 5000 citizen scientists gathered online and managed to extract the signal. However, the second task took longer and the US father and daughter team discovered that the message contained movement, suggesting some sort of cellular formation and life forms. - Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life.Now that the cryptic signal has been deciphered, the quest for meaning begins. The interpretation of the message, like any art piece, remains open.</blockquote>
