Thanks to the twin Voyager spacecrafts, 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 a 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 August 25, 2012, to enter interstellar space. Even after 40 years, the Voyager's hits just keep on coming.
