Posted my question here as it's about radio transmissions going beyond our solar system...
We all know the excellent opening scene of the hollywood movie 'Contact' which shows radio & television transmissions going beyond our solar system. But as it's Hollywood, there's certainly a catch. Do our regular TV & radio transmissions really travel so far? I have been working in remote areas and it was hard enough to catch TV signals from stations just 75 kilometers away! I'm sure I've read once that the only signals from Earth leaving our solar system are very strong military Radars and bundles of strong (military) satellite uplinks. |
