Murmurs of Earth - [Murmullos de la Tierra] - 1977
El Disco de oro de las Voyager (The sounds of Earth), es un disco de gramófono, que acompaña a las sondas espaciales Voyager, lanzadas en 1977 y que tardarán 74.500 años en alcanzar las proximidades de la estrella más cercana a nuestro sistema solar.
El disco contiene sonidos e imágenes que retratan la diversidad de la vida y la cultura en la Tierra. Se diseñó con el objetivo de dar a conocer la existencia de vida en la Tierra a alguna posible forma de vida extraterrestre inteligente que lo encontrase, y que además tenga la capacidad de poder leer, entender y descifrar el disco. El contenido de la grabación fue seleccionado por la NASA y por un comité presidido por Carl Sagan de la Universidad Cornell.
