The plaque affixed to the side of the sides of the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecrafts in 1972 & 1973. The Pioneer spacecrafts were the first anythings of human origin to be destined to leave our solar system. Both probes did a lot of research within our solar system before skedaddling off into infinity.
In 1977 NASA compiled 116 images to represent Earth and put them on a gold record and put it on the Voyager space probe and due to it not being aimed at anything this record will probably outlast Humanity. Unless we catch up to it one day its unlikely this record will never be viewed in the next thousand if not million years. And yet you can't look at all of these images on NASA's website because of copyright. Yup this isn't an existential post anymore it's anti-copyright. It's been 60 years, time to let these pictures enter the public domain.
NASA released the clearest pictures yet of our neighbours in the solar system
Oh and of course us
