hey, im looking for an image of a gold bar that was inscribed with pictures of a man and woman, the position of earth in the solar system, and our position in the galaxy, it was sent on a spacecraft into the milky way, in the hope that an intelligent lifeform might find it, i dont have a clue how to go about googling that
