> Where can you find a phonographic record that includes greetings in 55different languages, as well as musical performances by Louis Armstrong, and apercussion ensemble from Senegal?And the answer: Voyager Spacecraft.The Voyager Golden Record is an album that was included aboard the Voyager 1 andVoyager 2 spacecrafts, launched in 1977. Serving as a sort of time capsule, therecord contains dozens of various sounds and images, selected to portray thediversity of life and culture on Earth, and is intended for any extraterrestriallife form who may eventually find them.Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to study planets in our own solar system. Insummer of 1965, calculations revealed that a rare planetary alignment was due tooccur late the following decade, creating a window of opportunity for pioneeringspacecraft. According to the research, the planets would align in a mannerallowing the craft to swing on to the next planet using the gravity of thefirst. In 1972, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab set to work, committing to the flybyof Jupiter and Saturn. Two decades later, Voyager 2 had not just accomplishedits original task but also collected images and information from planets neverbefore seen by spacecraft, such as Uranus and Neptune. To this day Voyager 2remains the only craft to have ever captured all four planetary giants of oursolar system.But Voyager's trip was far from over. In 2018, Voyager 2 exited the heliosphereof our sun, marking the second time in history that a human-made object hasreached the space between stars. Today, both Voyager 1 and 2 continue to seekoutward, with billions of miles between itself and Earth. Scientists estimatethat Voyager 1 will reach the edge of our solar system in about 300 years.Until then? We wait. Learn more about the Voyager mission here[https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/].
