Voyager Golden Record

The Voyager Golden Record is a carefully crafted, gold-plated phonograph record launched aboard NASA's Voyager spacecrafts in 1977. It serves as a time capsule and message in a bottle intended for potential extraterrestrial civilizations. The record contains sounds and images representing Earth's diversity—music, nature sounds, greetings in multiple languages, and scientific information—designed to communicate the story of our world. Its purpose is to share human culture and history, offering a glimpse of life on Earth to any intelligent beings that might encounter it far in the future or elsewhere in the universe.
