The 350ft-long installation is marked out of a field near the 200-year-old Alton Barnes White Horse chalk figure.

We thought it would be interesting to revisit Carl Sagan’s great question: “What does it mean for a civilization to be a million years old? We have had radio telescopes and spaceships for a few decades; our technical civilization is a few hundred years old … an advanced civilization millions of years old is as much beyond us as we are beyond a bushbaby or a macaque.”
