The Golden Record is a phonograph record that was launched into space aboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1977. It was created to communicate the story of our world to extraterrestrials. The record contains a variety of sounds, music, and spoken greetings in multiple languages, representing the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
The Golden Record includes 27 musical tracks, ranging from classical to world music, and features greetings in 55 different languages. It also contains images depicting human life, nature, and scientific information. The project was led by a team that included the famous astrophysicist Carl Sagan.
