Voyager spacecraft are turning 50 years old, but their power is running low. This means fewer instruments can work, and the mission might end in 10 years.

At first glance the Golden Record looks like a shiny vinyl, but it’s a gold-plated copper disc filled with sounds, images and symbolic markings—centuries of human knowledge packaged as a time capsule to tell our story.
Earlier Pioneer probes carried metal plaques in 1972–73.
Ever had a late-night conversation about alien life and what they might think of humanity? Travel back 45 years to a little-known time capsule called the Golden Record—built to show intelligent life in outer space what humans on Earth are all about.
Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major. This is the first piece of music on the Golden Record that is on Voyagers 1 and 2 or Veger for #StarTrek fans #music #bach #classical #Voyager #goldenrecord

To grasp the vastness of space, Voyager 1 will pass near Gliese 445 in about 40,000 years. Yet even then, it will hardly have traveled across the galaxy. One full orbit of the Milky Way would require over 400 million years—an unimaginable timescale.

Crossing into interstellar space in 2012, Voyager 1 marked a milestone in exploration. Yet on a galactic scale, its motion is almost imperceptible. Even after drifting for a million years, it would remain within the Orion Spur, close to its origins.

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is humanity’s farthest emissary, over 15 billion miles (24.8 billion km) from Earth, racing at 38,000 mph (17 km/s). It still carries the Golden Record, a time capsule of Earth’s culture, into the uncharted depths of the cosmos.
