\nKeith’s note: This pic from the film “Contact”<\/i> is what it was like when we got our first image – “Earthrise<\/a>” – in 2008. I was watching over the team’s shoulders via iChat from the east coast and the image appeared – in reverse B&W – we saw the ‘white’ of space and the ‘black’ of the Moon. And then we flipped it. Awesome – like using a time machine to grab something from the past. Just like “Contact”<\/i>.
\nBelow is the scene from “Contact”<\/i> where a 1936 TV broadcast – sent back to Earth by an alien intelligence as a way to say “message received”<\/em> – is slowly decoded.<\/p>\n
