A Space Marvel by NASA

The Voyager spacecraft are identical probes launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer solar system and interstellar space. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only man-made objects that have ventured beyond the solar system. Here’s a look at the pioneering frontrunner, which has achieved some incredible feats along the way.

The Voyager Golden Records are two phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977 | The records contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them | The records are a sort of time capsule

Voyager 1 is, at present, the farthest man-made object from the Earth. It's farther away from our planet than any other human creation.

Thirty-six years ago, we humans collected all that we treasured about life on Earth and sent it off into space. It's still there, looking for an audience.
