      From Wikipedia:

      • white - encoding the numbers 1 to 10 in binary code
      • purple - 1, 6, 7, 8, 15. Atomic numbers of H, C, N, O, P; the five main elements of DNA.
      • green - some atomic formulas for DNA nucleotides
      • white and blue - average human height and Earth population back (4 billions)
      • red - human
      • yellow - Solar system, from Mercury to Pluto
      • purple, white, blue - the telescope sending the signal

      …it’s cute. But frankly, I don’t think even we humans would be able to re-decode it, if we lost the original meaning. There’s simply not enough context to do it.
