The first search for RF from outer space was in 1960 by radio
astronomer Frank Drake, using the 85-foot radio antenna of the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia.
He called it Project Ozma, after the queen of Oz, the mythical
kingdom known for its wizard. Drake turned the giant radio dish to
listen to two stars like the Sun, named tau Ceti and epsilon
Eridani, both about eleven light years away, near enough that any
signals should be easily detected. He observed the two stars
intermittently from April through July, but no "intelligent''
signals were detected. Drake's experiment did, however, inspire
other astronomers around the world to search for "intelligent''
signals from other stars. Was this part of one of those projects.
We have satellites dishes that are in use to receive RF from space.
Satellites today help us in so many ways. If it were not for them
you would not be able to watch TV, listen to some radios stations,
or even find this cache. So have fun look using the satellites.
This is a small container when it was orginally places it had some
bling, a geoseed, and other goodies. There is room for small items.
