I love this story. The idea of finding an object so clearly artificial, as old as the formation of the Moon, 4 billion years old. Finding a physical object, having that be first contact, is always far more real than a signal. Though I certainly hope if this happens for real, and we find some billions year old probe sitting on the lunar surface, we don't break it.

This may be my favorite sci-fi short story (though Ted Chiang’s are VERY competitive). This was written in 1948, and still holds up pretty well. Anyone can write a “space opera” or use “magic” as a deus ex machina to hand wave plot problems away, but I like it when authors write about something possible - even if the technology is far beyond ours. If I took a smartphone back to 1900, many people would assume it was sorcery, so, I figure technology 123 years from now will be equally astonishing. I also like it when SF writers write about the vastness of time and space. In this story, it’s about both. I also like it when the author leaves a little mystery for the reader to contemplate.

The only sci-fi film I’ve seen to honestly deal with the vastness of space was Aniara from a few years ago. See it if you haven’t.

I definitely disagree. I almost shut it off during the first couple minutes, but it settled down enough for me to grit through it. I think it was really distracting and subtracted from the story. I hate background music of almost any kind though.
