This is a present from a small, distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. — U.S. president Jimmy Carter.
The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them.

Scientists on the Rosetta mission have found oxygen in the gas cloud around comet 67P in what they described as the most surprising discovery about the comet to date.
It is the first time that molecular oxygen - the form of the gas we breathe - has been detected on a comet, and points to a gentle birth for comet 67P some time before the formation of the solar system.
“It’s actually the most surprising discovery we have made so far on 67P because oxygen was not among the molecules expected in a cometary coma,” said Kathrin Altwegg at the University of Bern and
The finding is puzzling because oxygen is highly reactive and scientists do not expect it to hang around for long in space. “We had never thought that oxygen could ‘survive’ for billions of years without combining with other substances,” said Altwegg.
The scientists are unsure precisely how the oxygen got to be in the comet, but suspect that the answer lies in the cold and dense birthplace of the solar system called the dark nebula.
“This evidence of oxygen as an ancient substance will likely discredit some theoretical models of the formation of the solar system,” said Altwegg to theguardian, read more.
In the video below ThunderboltsProject will discuss the latest scientific papers on the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission to comet 67P.
In addition to countless unresolved puzzles facing comet scientists, Thunderboltsproject discusses the problem of comet’s double-lobed shape and they talk about NASA’s New Horizons mission which has revealed that the Plutonian moon Hydra also has a double-lobed form like P67.
There are many different types of bodies in the solar system display the particular shape like Comet P67, therefore, despite scientists say it is a comet, we may wonder whether the comet is one of the artificially made space objects, created by aliens, which look like comets but in fact alien space craft, home of alien races. With the discovery of oxygen on the comet, the comet has surprised us again.
NASA has released over 10,000 images from Apollo missions.
NASA has uploaded dozens of galleries containing over 10,000 photos from the manned Apollo missions. Blurry astronaut faces, stunning lunar vistas and iconic moonwalking photos – they are all there.
The huge trove of photos includes every single picture taken on the moon’s surface on the Apollo missions, and also some from the journey to the moon and back, the project's lead, Kipp Teague, told The Planetary Society.
The high-res images are untouched and unprocessed, showing exactly what the astronauts were facing on their trips to the final frontier.
One image taken by the crew of the Apollo 8 took the attention of our long time reader Sjaan, while checking the new released images.
The above Hasselblad image from film magazine 13/E - Lunar Orbit, Trans-Earth Coast shows some remarkable unknown objects in Space.
The first object seems to be a giant living space creature, a sort of living organism. Also the second object looks like a living space being, but it could be also a space craft.
This Apollo image is not only proof that life exists in outer space, but that extraterrestrial organisms, like the objects as shown in the image, must have originated elsewhere in the universe.
Besides, it's clear, the astronauts must have seen many unexplained objects during their trips, but they were told that they would not be allowed to talk about it.
