Worm Sightings Volume 47 25 August 1999: Ten years ago today Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to visit the Planet Neptune. Both Voyager 2 and its sister spacecraft, Voyager 1, carry a record that contains sounds and images of Earth. The record's label says "The Sounds of Earth - United States of America, Planet Earth". As you can see there is a worm on the label too.

"[the] M2P2 concept would use the solar wind to push on a small imitation of the Earth's magnetosphere and accelerate the spacecraft to overtake the Pioneers and Voyagers and become the first manmade object to leave the solar system."
