Golden ‘e-mail’ to Space

Voyager 1 and 2, the most distant human-made objects in the Cosmos, launched exactly 30 years ago, are now at the outer edge of our solar system, in an area called the heliosheath. They carries on board a phonograph record, 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. 115 images and a variety of natural sounds, such as those made by surf, wind and thunder, birds, whales, and other animals, songs … are selected and compiled by a team, led by Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University for our greeny brothers from other worlds.
