Images Selected by NASA to Explain Earth to Aliens
Over 35 years ago, NASA launched Voyager 1 into space, which would later become the first human-made object to exit the solar system. In case it ever fell into the hands (or tentacles) of aliens, NASA scientists loaded the space probe with a copper phonograph LP called the “Golden Record” to explain life on Earth. Embedded in the record lies a trove of 116 images—depicting math equations, animals, buildings and more—as well as spoken greetings in 50 different languages, a compilation of sounds from around the planet and nearly 90 minutes of music. Head to Vox to see all the images.
COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
