Do you ever think about the Voyager 1 & Voyager 2 that NASA launched to space in 1977?
Idk why but I still think it's so cool because of the idea that it's meant to give any aliens who find it, an idea of what Earth is, who we are, & how we came to exist.
They put a record player on it, along with a record to play some music from Earth, our languages, & earth sounds. Along with math & illustrations indicating the position of earth based on our sun.
& Even mathematical illustrations of how to play the record.
It's full of images as well.. but not in a traditional way. The backside of the record plays weird sounds. Those sounds are actually an audio code to reveal over 100 images.
It's still by far, the furthest man made probe that's out in space. & There's a slim chance it could end up being deciphered if any aliens do happen to find it some day.
I just saw a video where someone said it's likely that one day Earth will no longer exist & that probe will be the biggest thing left documenting our existence.
Even if it's never found or deciphered, it's quite an accomplishment for it to even be out there in the first place.
Sorry I was kinda nerding out a bit & wanted to share this lol. I know it might be boring to some of you but I'll add a video I just watched where someone deciphered as much as they could 😌
