A message has been sent from a spacecraft orbiting Mars back to Earth, to simulate potential communication from an advanced alien civilisation.

On 24 May, a European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft at Mars, the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), was used to send a small coded message a few kilobytes in size to our planet. Picked up by radio receivers on Earth, groups of astronomers and enthusiasts then set to work decoding it.
