Scientific American Publishes Poem Titled 'The Golden Record'
The magazine's poetry feature offers a verse tribute referencing the famous space artifact.
Scientific American has published a poem titled "The Golden Record," according to the publication.
The piece appears as part of the magazine's recurring feature presenting science-themed poetry, described on its site with the tagline "Science in meter and verse," Scientific American said.
The title evokes the Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph record included aboard NASA's Voyager space probes launched in 1977, intended to convey information about life and culture on Earth to any extraterrestrial life that might encounter it. Scientific American's article page did not provide further detail on the poem's author or content beyond the title and its placement in the outlet's poetry series.
Scientific American has periodically featured poetry alongside its science coverage as part of efforts to explore scientific themes through literary forms, according to the publication.
