| + | > Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded Voyager, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future. With this example before them, NASA placed a more ambitious message aboard Voyager 1 and 2, a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. | ||

| Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and media figure, oversaw the committee at NASA that created The Golden Record. The Golden Record was meant to be a time capsule for all humanity, communicating the story of Earth and its inhabitants to extraterrestrial life forms, who might find it when launched into space. Launched into orbit via the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts in 1977, each sound and image on the record was meticulously chosen to best represent humankind – with special care taken to the records notation to explain its function without a need for written language. Like the authors of the Golden Record, in this project you encapsulate a piece of our present reality, collecting an archive of materials to reinterpret via their presentation and arrangement. | Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and media figure, oversaw the committee at NASA that created The Golden Record.
