6 x 4 Engraved Memorial Plaque in Silver or Gold/Brass Effect

Product Information

The binary numbers above and below the planets show the relative distance to the Sun. The unit is 1 / 10 of Mercury's orbit. Rather than the familiar "1" and "0", "I" and "–" are used.

At the bottom of the plaque is a schematic diagram of the Solar System. A small picture of the spacecraft is shown, and the trajectory shows its way past Jupiter and out of the Solar System. Both Pioneers 10 and 11 have identical plaques; however, after launch, Pioneer 11 was redirected toward Saturn and from there it exited the Solar System. In this regard the Pioneer 11 plaque is inaccurate. Sagan, Carl (1978). Murmurs of Earth: the Voyager interstellar record. Random House. ISBN 978-0-394-41047-0. Over the next few weeks, each venue will be given a 'Golden Gateway' plaque to symbolise its role as each athlete's personal 'gateway' into the sport, and eventually a Commonwealth medal. Sports stars wanting to pay thanks to their childhood venues include cyclist Dame Laura Kenny who chose Welwyn Wheelers Cycling Club as her Golden Gateway destination, whilst Para Swimmer Maisie Summers-Newton wanted to thank Northampton Swimming Club. Gymnast Alice Kinsella wanted to recognise Park Wrekin Gymnastic Club in Telford as a special stop in her journey to Commonwealth Games gold, and Johnboy Smith selected Cyclopark in Gravesend.The woman's genitals are not depicted in detail; only the mons pubis is shown. It has been claimed that Sagan, having little time to complete the plaque, suspected that NASA would have rejected a more intricate drawing and therefore made a compromise just to be safe. [9] Sagan said that the decision to not include the vertical line on the woman's genitalia ( pudendal cleft) which would be caused by the intersection of the labia majora was due to two reasons. First, Greek sculptures of women do not include that line. Second, Sagan believed that a design with such an explicit depiction of a woman's genitalia would be considered too obscene to be approved by NASA. [10] According to the memoirs of Robert S. Kraemer, however, the original design that was presented to NASA headquarters included a line which indicated the woman's vulva, [11] and this line was erased as a condition for approval of the design by John Naugle, former head of NASA's Office of Space Science and the agency's former chief scientist.

Ernst Gombrich criticized the use of an arrow because arrows are an artifact of hunter-gatherer societies like those on Earth; finders with a different cultural heritage may find the arrow symbol meaningless.

Choose a location that not only showcases the award but also complements the content of your channel. For example, if you are a beauty blogger or vlogger, displaying your plaque near where you film makeup tutorials would be perfect.

It takes hard work, dedication and creativity. So when you do reach a milestone and receive your very own YouTube plaque, it’s worth celebrating! But what do you do with it? How can you showcase it in a way that not only looks great but also helps maintain growth for your channel? The data for one of the pulsars is misleading. When the plaque was designed, the frequency of pulsar "1240" (now known as J1243-6423) was known to only three significant decimal digits: 0.388 second. [1] The map lists the period of this pulsar in binary to much greater precision: 100000110110010110001001111000. Rounding this off at about 10 significant bits (100000110100000000000000000000) would have provided a hint of this uncertainty. This pulsar is represented by the long line pointing down and to the right. Wolverton, Mark (2004). The Depths of Space: The Story of the Pioneer Planetary Probes. National Academies Press.

Behind the figures of the human beings, the silhouette of the Pioneer spacecraft is shown in the same scale so that the size of the human beings can be deduced by measuring the spacecraft.

The result is beguiling, but by the end it gets a bit narrow and enclosed. Perhaps that, too, is an accurate reflection of the Scythian world: horses, wine, war and good hemp to smoke – what else do you need? The Saturn flyby of Pioneer 11 would also greatly influence its future direction and destination as compared to Pioneer 10, but this fact is not depicted in the plaques. Art critic Craig Owens said that sexual bias is exhibited by the decision to have the man in the diagram perform the raised hand gesture to greet the extraterrestrials while the woman in the diagram has her hands at her sides. [13] Feminists also took issue with this choice for the same reason. [14] To appease these criticisms, a second illustration of a similar couple was provided, with the woman raising her hand instead.
