The Voyager Golden Records are two identical phonograph records, with one copy aboard each of the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977.[1] The records contain sounds and data to reconstruct raster scan 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 time capsule.

In Greg’s defense, I’m pretty sure that this would look pretty cool with appropriately-situated green lighting.

EDIT: Also, thank goodness, that had an example of that popular 1940s typeface that I can never remember the name of.

The oldstyle roman caps used for “The Sounds of Earth” are from a filled-in version of Caslon Openface. The sender info (“United States of America, Planet Earth”) is set in bold caps from Futura.

I have some old books set in that and I like the appearance.

The fact that I had to see it on the object that is literally the furthest human-made thing away from humanity to recall it is a little ludicrous, though.
