The proposed GC-based location map for Message in a Bottle. This schematic representation depicts a celestial location map that relies on the longitudinal distribution of globular clusters (GCs) as reference points with reference to the galactic center, with each GC indicated by its respective millisecond pulsar (MSP) marker(s). GCs, known for their stability, serve as crucial cosmic landmarks for interstellar navigation and communication, with the inclusion of plausible MSPs enhancing precision in celestial positioning. -- AGU
