Thanks to the twin Voyager spacecraft, music is truly universal: Each
carries a Golden Record with sights, sounds and songs from Earth as it
sails on through the Milky Way. Recalling the classic rock era of the
late 1970s when the Voyagers launched, this poster is an homage to the
mission's greatest hits. Some of the most extraordinary discoveries of
the probes' first 40 years include the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io,
the hazy nitrogen atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan and the cold geysers
on Neptune's moon Triton. Voyager 1 is also the first spacecraft to
deliver a portrait of our planets from beyond Neptune, depicting Earth
as a 'pale blue dot,' and, as of Aug. 25, 2012, to enter interstellar
space. Voyager 2 is expected to enter interstellar space in the coming
years. Even after 40 years, the Voyagers’ hits just keep on coming.
