Voyager Golden Record From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Voyager Golden Record is a gramophone record, attached to the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or far future humans, that may find it. The Voyager spacecraft will take about 40,000 years to come near another star, 'near' meaning in this case within around 1.7 light-years' distance; hence, if other beings do not come in the direction of the spacecraft to meet them, it will take at least that long for the Golden Record to be found.

Carl Sagan called “Murmurs of Earth” – from our time in the second half of the twentieth century.
The gold disk with the sounds and music of Earth on the Voyager spacecraft. These sounds of our times will be carried forever, or for as long as the Milky Way Galaxy exists.

Hi. The tracing of a man and woman are shown against an image of the voyager to show how large we are, and shows the Solar system as a star with 9 planets, which shows where we were technically. The sun's location is show relative to several other stars (variable stars or maybe pulsars) to show where we came from.
