Good Red Friday afternoon, Rallypoint, and welcome to the September 9th edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Intersellar Voyager." Sometimes it is good to reflect on where you have been, and where you might be headed. That is the subject of today's APOD. The two Voyager spacecraft were launched on their way 45 years ago. I suspect both find themselves in similar environs to that depicted in this image. The reality of the past is behind them. The mystery of the future still lies before them. Like the Earth in Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, they are swallowed whole by the vastness that surrounds them.
Did you know that the Voyager's carry with them something called The Golden Records? We each carry a similar golden record inside of us...a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate our story to everyone we meet. How we communicate that story defines each of us. If you get an opportunity to share it with someone today, don't be afraid to. You may not get another chance.

APOD Background: Explanation: Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched in 1977 on a grand tour of the outer planets of the Solar System. They have become the longest operating and most distant spacecraft from Earth. Both have traveled beyond the heliosphere, the realm defined by the influence of the solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field. On the 45th year of their journey toward the stars Voyager 1 and 2 reached nearly 22 light-hours and 18 light-hours from the Sun respectively and remain the only spacecraft currently exploring interstellar space. Each spacecraft carries a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk with recordings of sounds, pictures and messages. The Golden Records are intended to communicate a story of life and culture on planet Earth, preserved in a medium that can survive an interstellar journey for a billion years.
