Voyager Golden Record Collection

HUMANITY'S GALACTIC MIXTAPE

In 1977, NASA affixed a gold-plated copper disc to each Voyager spacecraft—part scientific outreach, part cosmic optimism, and part “just in case the neighbors drop by.” Officially titled the Voyager Interstellar Record, this artifact serves as a time capsule of Earth’s biology, culture, and mathematical competence, encoded across images, sounds, and music curated by a team led by Carl Sagan.

The record’s iconic engraved cover—a precise diagram explaining who we are, where we are, and how to decode the data—remains one of the most recognizable symbols of human curiosity. Now drifting well beyond the influence of our Sun, the original copies continue their slow journey through interstellar space, politely introducing humanity to anyone patient enough to interpret them.

This collection pays homage to this scientific milestone with meticulous, laser-etched replicas and designs inspired by the mission’s visual language. It’s a celebration of the moment we looked outward, hit “send,” and hoped for the best.
