The Verge | We decoded NASA’s messages to Aliens by Hand

Here, we decoded the audio, and see the images the way that aliens were intended to see them.
Special thanks to Ron Barry for walking us through his own audio decoding process, which got us excited in the story over a year ago. You can read about his own adventure and watch his process produce results in real-time in his own video in the links below:
