How do we ourselves begin then to interpret such a purposeful and idiosyncratic archaeological legacy? What does such autobiographical media reveal about our transforming minds and generations, set against the unfolding backdrop of our planetary history?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBeyond the Earth: An Anthology of Human Messages into Deep Space and Cosmic Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e catalogs humanity’s changing relations and behaviors as illustrated by these fragments accumulated beyond our atmosphere.
