From the 24th episode of the original Battlestar Galactica (1978-1979) titled The Hand of God.

The clip reminds me of having conducted student observing sessions with twin refractors and later with my personal 10" diameter computer-controlled Schmidt Cassegrain. Liberal Arts and Business students often took the Basic Astronomy Course for a mathematics requirement, and I would sadly come across many who thought the effort a complete waste of time.

The Apollo 11 Moon landing contest was won by Bill Matthews on 4 Feb 2022.

These symbolic images ~should~ be used to motivate research into the actual physics of EM radiation and Quantum Entanglement.

In his 1985 book Contact, Carl Sagan proposed that ET ~might~ pick up the 1936 Olympics TV transmission, but that they really wouldn't have sufficient context to understand it in isolation.

Earth's ordinary, non-directed, television and FM radio transmissions can and do travel out of Earth's atmosphere but are rapidly diffused and weakened so as to become very difficult to pick up by any modest receivers on ET home worlds.

To give you an example... on 4 February 2008, NASA sent a ~directed~ signal to Polaris 430 ly away using 18kW of power through a 230' antenna. To even detect the non-random pattern on a planet in that system, they would need to have constructed an antenna seven miles across. To resolve its meaning, they would need something nearly 75 times as large.

This is why advanced civilizations wouldn't bother with EM or even Einstein's suggestion of light... but might instead work with the principle of Quantum Entanglement.

The exception, of course, would be scout ships passing within the planetary orbits. In that case, scanning for EM transmissions might be feasible and would make sense, and if you look you will find shortwave a good candidate for detecting and receiving.

Thank you to NBC Universal, Glen Larson, Donald Bellisario, Lorne Greene, Terry Carter, Patrick Macnee, Herbert Jefferson Jr., John Colicos, Anne Lockhart, Laurette Spang-McCook, Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict... and Jane Seymour OBE.
