Registry id QST_MSG_VOYAGER_GOLDEN_RECORD · source layer quast · provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented

Exists from 1977-09-05 00:00:00 UTC (JD 2443391.5) — no end date is recorded.

Open Voyager Golden Record in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
