I'm guessing these have been contributed by many copyright holders who have made them available to NASA for the Voyager mission, but have not put them into the public domain.
- ComputerGuru 15y agoYeah, that was my guess too. But none of the pictures are amazing, they're just random stuff of random human life. They can surely do better than that.
- ars 15y agoThat's actually the point. Archaeologists are always searching for information about ordinary life. There is tons of data on famous people, kings, leaders, warriors. But very little on day to day life.
- ComputerGuru 15y agoYou misunderstood. (and others did too, judging by the downvotes). I meant that they could better than finding copyrighted images. As they are standard images, they can surely find non-copyrighted materials.
- eru 15y agoThat's why Archaeologists are so keen on garbage dumps. (And to anyone worrying that our digital artefacts are much shorter lived than clay tables: We are producing more garbage than almost any society before. They'll be plenty to piece together.)
