How do you play a record if nobody has

00:00:05.042 --> 00:00:10.682
In 1977, NASA sent a gold-plated record
aboard each Voyager spacecraft.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.390
They carried pictures, music, and
greetings in fifty-five languages.

00:00:16.708 --> 00:00:20.998
The cover shows where to put the needle
and which way it should travel.

00:00:21.292 --> 00:00:26.132
A measurement based on hydrogen tells the
finder how fast to turn it.

00:00:26.417 --> 00:00:31.457
The first encoded picture is a circle. If
it looks oval, adjust the image.

00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:37.040
The challenge was sending a message, and
sending the instructions to read it.
