据外媒报道，上世纪70年代，NASA向深太空发送了一对探测器用于执行一次单向任务。这对探测器是旅行者1号和旅行者2号，当时科学家们还往上面装上了NASA的“黄金唱片(Golden Record)”，里边存有对地球的科学指导以及用于讲述简短地球生命故事的声音和音乐。
现在，几十年过去了，这一历史遗迹的内容以一种特别的形式对外发布。据悉，NASA开始对外发行存有当时音频记录的再制作音轨。
从贝多芬到查克·贝里，这套唱片拥有许多高质量的音乐，或许某一天当外星人收到它们的时候真的会感兴趣。
据悉，这套唱片有2张CD，另外它提供了一本96页的精装书，其介绍了这些音频记录和旅行者号任务的背后故事，现在人们可以以50美元（折合人民币约为330元）的价格预定到，预计圣诞节发货。
