A copy of the golden record on display in the Udvar Hazy center in Washington, D.C.

In the 1970s, astronomers and astrophysicists including Carl Sagan created a golden record that included every language and as many different kinds of sounds possible and then shot it into space through the Voyager mission in the hopes of it being found by another civilization.

Then President Jimmy Carter spoke of the mission-
"If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."

What did the team record on this album? 

What would you record on an ipod to be sent to a possible other civilization?

to equal 45 times the mass of the Sun!
