If you could send a message into space, what would you say? A birthday wish? A message for a loved one? Maybe give the universe a piece of your mind?
You may never get a chance to put on a spacesuit and travel the universe, but now you can send your thoughts on a laser beam, just as far, and much farther.
It's simple:
  1. Chose a space destination below
  2. Enter a message
  3. Send

Destination 3: Cat's Eye Nebula
The Cat's Eye nebula is in the constellation Draco. It has a mysterious structure caused by material thrown out from a binary star, yet there is no evidence of a binary star. There are rings around the Eye but the cause is unclear.

Destination 4: Another Galaxy
The Circinus Galaxy is in the constellation Circinus. Massive rings of gas are ejected from the galaxy. This galaxy is believed to contain a super-massive black hole that is ejecting gas out of the galaxy's disk and into its halo.

Destination 5: Deep Space
The universe is about 13.77 billion years old. Deep space images are a window into the distant past. So, if you shine light today into open space it will go on, and on (and on). If that light is ever seen by future generations, they would be the ones peering into their very distant past.
