The Voyagers are still beaming scientific data back to Earth. The data gave scientists a new perspective on the workings and diversity of far-away worlds they had only seen through telescopes. The probes continued on, collecting data and images from the farthest planets in our solar system - Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - and their distinctive moons. This record curated by Carl Sagan and designed to introduce the human race to. The images the Voyagers captured of Jupiter in 1979 were the sharpest scientists had ever seen. In 1977, scientists at NASA launched a Golden Record into space it rode aboard the Voyager probes 1 and 2.

Their mission was only supposed to last four years.

The twin crafts were launched separately in 1977. In 1977 two Golden Records were sent on a journey to interstellar space on board of the Nasa twin-spacecrafts Voyager 1+2, initiated by a team around Carl. No man-made objects have ever traveled so long and so far while continuing to function. The Voyagers were launched 40 years ago, and they're still going. That was Voyager." "We have actually sent a message that will be in orbit in the Milky Way galaxy essentially forever, even after the sun and the Earth no longer exist in their current state." Back in the summer of 1977, the space agency launched Voyager 1. Goode,' rock and roll, was the music of motion, of moving, getting to someplace you've never been before and the odds are against you," says Druyan. The track, of course, comes from the famous Golden Record, a copy of which is aboard each of two of NASAs most famous spacecraft. Goode" into space? Ann Druyan, the creative director of the team astronomer Carl Sagan assembled to make the Golden Record in the 1970s, tells Cooper the music embodied the mission.

The story will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, Nov. This gold aluminum 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. Anderson Cooper reports on the Voyager space probes as they continue beaming back data 40 years after their launch. The guitar anthem shares space on a Golden Record alongside Mozart and Louis Armstrong, part of a cultural snapshot intended for any extraterrestrials who might someday find the spacecraft. Goode" is now some 13 billion miles from Earth, traveling at 38,000 mph aboard NASA's Voyager 1 space probe. When Chuck Berry sang "Go, go Johnny go!" in 1958, could he have ever imagined how far his rock and roll hit would really go? "Johnny B.
