The two Voyager spacecraft were sent on deep space missions each with a record containing messages and information for any possible extraterrestrial civilization that might encounter it. What specifically do these records contain?

A recording, called "Sounds of Earth". It fit on a 12-inch, copper disc containing greetings from Earth people in 60 languages, samples of music from different cultures and eras, and natural sounds of surf, wind and thunder, and birds, whales and other animals. The record also contains electronic information that an advanced technological civilization could convert into diagrams, pictures and printed words, including a message from President Carter. http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/sounds.html will give you lots more.

1 "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" -- Season Two I finally got my hands on the second season of one of my favorite TV shows of all time on DVD, so I thought I'd throw together a quiz on those 26 episodes (more or less). Some of the questions require knowledge of certain actors' non-"DS9" roles.
