Discover The Voyager Space Probe Golden Records

in #space6 years ago

In 1977 NASA launched two space probes. Known as Voyager 1 and 2 on a mission to explore the furthermost planets of our solar system. Voyagers mission was mostly to take images of anything interesting and transmit those images back to its eager creators. The probes passed further than the orbit of Pluto almost half a century ago! The Voyager propes, traveling almost 60,000 kph are approaching interstellar space.

The thing that interests me most is that Voyager carries something special. 2 Golden records. These records have coded messages, symbols, music and more on them. The purpose of the pure gold metal records is that if an alien life form one day finds Voyager, that they would be able to learn about humans. If they could uncode the records.

Here's a link to a youtube video originally posted by Vox, i just wanted to share the experience of discovering these golden records and what they contain.

Enjoy
