How many images are contained on the Voyager Golden Record? The answer is 116.
The Voyager Golden Record contains 116 analog-encoded images selected to portray Earth, human life, science, and the natural world. The collection includes photographs, diagrams, drawings, and images of Earth and the Solar System.
One of the 116 images is a calibration image used to help decode and reconstruct the picture signal. Therefore, descriptions sometimes distinguish 115 content images plus one calibration image, but the total image count is 116.
The images occupy only part of the record. The remaining material includes natural sounds, music, spoken greetings in 55 languages, human sounds, and printed messages from Earth leaders.
