Nasa is sending a coded message to Jupiter's moon Europa in Hindi

India Today  

American space agency Nasa is launching the Europa Clipper Mission to Jupiter's watery moon in October this year, and along with the spacecraft, it's sending a unique message that has been recorded in Hindi and other languages. Poet Laureate Ada Lim³n’s handwritten “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa.” Nasa said that linguists collected recordings of the word “water” spoken in 103 languages from around the world. The waveforms radiate out from a symbol representing the American Sign Language sign for “water.” One of the waveforms on the plate reads "paani" the word water as pronounced in Hindi. Apart from the linguistic plate, the spacecraft is also carrying an engraving of US Poet Laureate Ada Lim³n’s handwritten “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa,” along with a silicon microchip stencilled with more than 2.6 million names submitted by people from across the world.
