In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft to explore interstellar space. The Voyager 1 and 2 contained the Golden Record which is a collection of sounds and images to explain Earth to alien beings. This record has been re-released and is now available for purchase on vinyl thanks to a Kickstarter.
In this record there are greetings from over 55 languages. Such as:
“Greetings to our friends in the stars. We wish that we will meet you someday” in Arabic.
“Greetings to you, whoever you are. We have goodwill towards you and bring peace across space.” In Latin.
The Golden Record also contains 115 encoded images of Earth and sounds of nature.
There is also music in the record with sounds of Bach, Navajo chants, a Peruvian wedding song and Chuck Berry. The Voyager 1 left the solar system in 2013 and is now in interstellar space, where the Golden Record could introduce humankind to outer world beings.
