A new paper about A Sign in Space has just been published on Acta Astronautica, the journal of the International Academy of Astronautics. The paper will be available here for 50 days without registration or fee: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mWvgLWHGF84b

My paper titled A Sign in Space: Analogies between the Project and a Real First-Contact Scenario, has now been published in Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union. You can view the article at doi.org/10.1017/S17439….

It was an honour to present A Sign in Space at GEOPAQ in Hyderabad, India! What an amazing, growing community of space professionals from around the world! Thank you Murtuza Qurasani and all @GEOPAQ Team for organising such a visionary and forward thinking event!

A Sign in Space inspired a new book for young people. The UFO Files (Quarto, 2025) tells the story of the arrival of an alien spaceship. The book merges a science fiction story with nonfiction sidebars about SETI, rocket science, AI, and more. quarto.com/books/97807112…

One year ago today, Ken and Keli Chaffin, a father-daugther team from the US, submitted the correct decoding of the message designed for A Sign in Space. The solution required more than 3,000 hours work by Ken and Keli, and their interpretation efforts are ongoing. #asigninspace

Happy Birthday A Sign in Space! Two years ago the project simulated the reception of an extraterrestrial signal, exploring how humans would create meaning around an alien message. Cake by citizen scientist Gianfranco De Vito #asigninspace

A Sign in Space is at the Science and Philosophy Festival in Foligno, Italy, on 10 and 11 April. All welcome!

@MissSpookyMoo A new mystery ;-)

👽 An extraterrestrial message is trying to tell us something... are we listening? 'Alien' signal has been decoded after a year-long effort by a dad-daughter duo on Earth. It hints to a life form from an intelligent civilisation. esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… 📸@asigninspace, a winner of the 2024 @Gizmodo Science Fair 📸 Ken & Keli Chaffin

Thank you #ESA for announcing the discovery of the message designed for A Sign in Space!

Dad-daughter team decodes 'alien' signal. 👾👾👾👾👾 It is an image of five amino acids, sent by Europe's Mars orbiter @ESA_TGO and intercepted by radio observatories on Earth over a year ago. Code cracked, but what does it mean? blogs.esa.int/to-mars-and-ba… #asigninspace
