An Eternal Gardens experience

Voyager: The Golden Record

You have one record. Tell the universe who we were.

A message from Earth

In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 toward the outer Solar System. Attached to each spacecraft was a gold-plated record containing a portrait of Earth: photographs, sounds, music, greetings, and scientific information.

The project was led by a team including Carl Sagan, Frank Drake, Ann Druyan, Timothy Ferris, Jon Lomberg, and Linda Salzman Sagan, alongside many other contributors.

They faced an impossible question: if someone knew nothing about Earth, what should we show them?

This experience is a tribute to that question, and to the people who tried to answer it.

Now imagine that one more seat had been placed at the table.

Yours.

With a quiet ambient score — you can turn the sound off at any time.

Inspired by the real Voyager Golden Record project of 1977. The original Golden Record was created by an extraordinary team including Carl Sagan, Frank Drake, Ann Druyan, Timothy Ferris, Jon Lomberg, Linda Salzman Sagan, and many other contributors who helped create humanity's message aboard Voyager. This Eternal Gardens experience is a tribute to their work. The interactive committee members you will meet are fictional characters created for this dramatized experience.
