About the Authors
* * *
CARL SAGAN was chairman of the NASA Voyager Record Committee and executive producer of the record. He holds the David Duncan Chair as Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences at Cornell University, where he is also director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies. Sagan has played key roles in the Mariner, Viking, and Voyager missions to the planets; on Voyager he is a member of the Imaging Team. He is author of The Cosmic Connection, The Dragons of Eden (for which he received the Pulitzer Prize) and, with I. Shklovskii, Intelligent Life in the Universe.
F. D. DRAKE is director of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (part of which is the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico) and Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University. He is widely known for his belief that life exists elsewhere in the universe and is a leading authority on methods for the construction of messages and for the detection of extraterrestrial intelligent signals.
ANN DRUYAN was the creative director of the Voyager record and is the author of the recently published novel A Famous Broken Heart. Her articles have appeared in the New York Times Magazine and elsewhere.
JON LOMBERG is an artist and writer whose major interests are astronomy (particularly interstellar communication and the study of galaxies) and music. He won the Boston Visionary Cell Award for painting in 1971. He illustrated Carl Sagan’s The Cosmic Connection, and his paintings appear at the Ontario Science Center and the Smithsonian Institution’s Air and Space Museum.
TIMOTHY FERRIS, who served as producer of the Voyager record, is the author of a book on twentieth-century astronomy, The Red Limit: The Search for the Edge of the Universe. He is professor of English at Brooklyn College and contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine.
LINDA SALZMAN SAGAN has worked as an artist, film-maker and picture researcher. She helped design the Pioneer 10 plaque, and was assistant director of the award-winning documentary Two Ball Games.
