Summary

Description	Čeština: Přebal Zlaté desky Voyageru s návodem, jak desku přehrát Deutsch: Goldene Platte der Voyager-2-Sonde English: Voyager Golden Record This gold aluminium cover was designed to protect the Voyager 1 and 2 "Sounds of Earth" gold-plated records from micrometeorite bombardment, but also serves a double purpose in providing the finder a key to playing the record. The explanatory diagram appears on both the inner and outer surfaces of the cover, as the outer diagram will be eroded in time. Flying aboard Voyagers 1 and 2 are identical "golden" records, carrying the story of Earth far into deep space. The 12 inch gold-plated copper discs contain greetings in 60 languages, samples of music from different cultures and eras, and natural and man-made sounds from Earth. They also contain electronic information that an advanced technological civilization could convert into diagrams and photographs. Currently, both Voyager probes are traversing the uncharted territory of interstellar space, moving further away from the Sun than any man-made objects in history as they continue their multi-decade journey through the cosmic void. Français : Voyager Golden Record Cette pochette en aluminium a été conçue pour protéger les disques plaqués or Sounds of Earth de Voyager 1 et 2 du bombardement de micrométéorites, mais aussi pour donner des informations sur comment restituer l'enregistrement. Le diagramme explicatif apparaît sur les faces interne et externe de la pochette, car le diagramme extérieur va subir une érosion dans le temps.
