The oldest tree in the world
What if we send information about the world's oldest tree to space, what would that message be like?
Methuselah is the oldest tree in the world, believed to be at least 4,850 years old. It is located in California (USA), near the border with Nevada, although its exact location is kept secret so that it does not suffer damage.
It belongs to the bristlecone pine species (Pinus longaeva), characterized by its great resistance to particularly dry climatic conditions and which therefore tends to achieve significant longevity.
Using a binary system, the information represented in the graphics is specified, such as the age of the tree, location, size, color, DNA, type of soil, fruits, and leaves in its early years.
