414mwrvvgtL._SL500_AA240_

Have you always wanted to talk to aliens? Well, here is your chance to make yourself heard to the rest of the Universe.

To mark the launch of Paul Davies's book The Eerie Silence (it comes out on Thursday March 4, when there will also be an extract in the latest issue of Eureka), his publisher Penguin is planning to beam 50 messages into space.

Professor Davies will be pressing the "send" button when he speaks at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester on March 12, as part of National Science and Engineering Week.

If you'd like your message included, you need to submit it here. The Eerie Silence competition closes on Sunday, February 28. Entries should be no more than 40 words.

Message Reads: Awaiting pick up. Planet Earth on course for destruction. Please send details of next project.
