Explore how humans continue to search for life and connection through exploration of our solar system and interstellar space.
In the early 1970s, the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes helped to shine a light on our outer solar system. Along with scientific instruments, they also carried peace plaques. Later in that decade, the Voyager probes carried records filled with images, sounds, music, and greetings from Earth. These plaques and records served as messages for any other civilizations out in the universe, including a map to our solar system.
Join the Creative Director of NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message Ann Druyan and science journalist Nadia Drake as they discuss the story of how humans continue to search for life and connection through exploration of our solar system and interstellar space as told through the Pioneer 10/11 Plaque and Voyager Golden Record.
Exploring Space lectures are free; tickets are required.
