**Summary:**

1. **Signal Discovery**  
A decoded extraterrestrial signal transmitted from Mars has revealed a simple image depicting five amino acids, deciphered by a father-daughter duo after a year-long effort.

2. **Art and Science Collaboration**  
The signal was part of the multidisciplinary art project **‘A Sign in Space,’** initiated by media artist **Daniela de Paulis** in collaboration with ESA’s **ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter**.

3. **Citizen Scientist Involvement**  
Over 5,000 citizen scientists participated in the decoding process, first extracting the message from raw data intercepted by three radio astronomy observatories.

4. **Cracking the Code**  
Ken and Keli Chaffin, the father-daughter team, utilized intuition and simulations to uncover the signal’s meaning, which suggests cellular movement and the potential for life forms.

5. **Next Steps in Interpretation**  
With the signal deciphered, the interpretation of its significance begins, leaving room for artistic expression and scientific inquiry into the implications of the findings.
