An archival image shows the Golden Record being handled in a clean room. The gold-colored record is being adjusted on a table by a person in a white lab coat and white gloves. A second gold-colored disc, the cover, rests next to the Golden Record. The background is out of focus but shows two additional men, from their necks down, wearing white bunny suits. The entire image features a slight sepia tone that is often associated with archival photographs.
A close-up black and white image of Europa taken by Voyager 2 the spacecraft passed within 139,800 miles (225,000 kilometers) on July 9, 1979. The area shown is about 373 by 497 miles (600 by 800 kilometers) and the smallest features visible are about 2.5 miles (4 km) in size. Hundreds of complex visible dark bands criss-cross along the surface almost as if the surface is cracking and suggest that the surface has been fractured and material from beneath has welled up to fill the cracks.
An artist's illustration of our solar system and what lies beyond, including the interstellar medium, then other galaxies, and finally the closest exoplanets to Earth. Highlighted near the center of the image, on the edge of interstellar space, are two arrows. The top arrow is pointing to where Voyager 1 currently resides and the bottom arrow is pointing to where Voyager 2 resides.
An illustration of Voyager 1 traveling through interstellar space, or the space between stars. The Voyager spacecraft sits against a stunning blue hazed background peppered with thousands of white dots representing distant stars. Voyager's white high-gain antenna dish is facing upward toward the stars. Other antenna and instruments our outlined around the dish, fading into the vastness of space.
A grainy and dramatic black and white view of Jupiter's satellite Io as seen by NASA's Voyager 1 on March 8, 1979, looking back 2.6 million miles (4.5 million kilometers) at Io. There appears to be two simultaneously occurring volcanic eruptions happening on the surface of the moon.
