It can be done - An Earth Day Message

April 2020

In summer 2018, ESA joined with the musician Vangelis and the family of scientist Prof. Stephen Hawking, to beam a message marking his passing to the nearest black hole. On 22 April 2020, Earth Day, we transmitted this poignant message to all of planet Earth - as a message of hope, to say that, by working together, we can overcome this crisis and others facing humankind.
