Can anyone remember what information and messages were represented
on the plaque carried out of the solar system by Pioneer-10?
Pioneer-10 was launched in March, 1972 destined for Jupiter. Continuing
on, it became the first man-made object to leave the solar system in
1986.
I believe the plaque was to act as a note from mankind to anyone who
may find the craft. I'm wondering what messages were represented on
the sides of the space probe. Was there also a recording of some
sorts?
If I could find a good picture of the plaque, it'd be interesting to
see how many people could gather the meaning of the messages. But
I need the "correct answers" first.
Thanks to anyone who can supply information, I'll post a summary if
anyone is interested.
Bruce
