NASA Is Sending Naked Pictures of Humans to Space in Hope of ‘Attracting Aliens’

You read it correctly: NASA is sending space nudes.

A recent revelation shows that NASA intends to send nudes into space in an effort to connect with extraterrestrial species.

'Beacon In The Galaxy' or BITG is a new study aimed to allow contact with any intelligent life forms that may be hiding in the galaxy.

According to the study, these photos and their accompanying message are encoded in binary code, since space scientists think this is the media most likely to be comprehended by any E.T.s that may be looking for our signals.

The in-question images exhibit crude sketches of a nude guy and woman waving in an effort to look friendlier. The image is accompanied by images of our DNA code, revealing to everyone who may be seeing just what we are composed of.

If the aliens like what they see, they will be able to reply, since the project includes instructions on how they may communicate with people on Earth.

It is also anticipated that scientists would seek to describe and explain gravity as part of their soon-to-be-beamed-into-space new initiative.

“Though the concept of mathematics in human terms is potentially unrecognisable to extra-terrestrial intelligence, binary is likely universal across all intelligence," explain scientists in their official project document.

“Binary is the simplest form of mathematics as it involves only two opposing states: zero and one, yes or no, black or white, mass or empty space.”

The document continues, explaining that “The proposed message includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication followed by information on the biochemical composition of life on Earth, the Solar System’s time-stamped position in the Milky Way relative to known globular clusters, as well as digitised depictions of the Solar System, and Earth’s surface.”

It's essentially everything extraterrestrials would need to contact us.

Obviously, this is not the first time we've sent naked images of ourselves into the abyss. In 1972, both the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 missions depicted nude people hooked to their antennas, ready for any aliens who may want a peek.
