In 1977, days after agreeing to marry Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan recorded her own brainwaves and heartbeat — an hour of biological joy that NASA compressed into a single minute and pressed onto the Golden Record aboard Voyager. That intimate signal, paired with a uranium-235 decay clock capable of marking billions of years, now travels 25 billion kilometers into interstellar space. It is perhaps the most personal object humanity has ever released into the cosmos: a love letter written in the language of the body, addressed to no one we know, and sent across a time we cannot fathom.
