Default Re: Bearings in space

Apparently real scieitists think pulsar maps are the way to go with this.

When the voyager probes were launched, they contained pulsar maps printed on gold records that were supposed to let anyone smart enough to find the probes also find earth.

Here's a link to a site that talks about decoding the pulsar maps:

So it looks like pulsars will be to star farers what lighthouses are to seafarers.
