Five spacecrafts are leaving our Solar System, and are on the way to interstellar space. Four of them carry a dedicated message, kind of a business card for Planet Earth.

The Pioneer Plaques (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque) are a pair of aluminium plaques, featuring a pictorial message, attached to the Pioneer 10 and 11 deep space probes, respectively. The Voyager Golden Records (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record) are travelling on board of the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.

New Horizons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Horizons), NASA's successful Pluto mission is the only deep space probe without such an intentional message. However, initiated and led by Jon Lomberg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Lomberg), world-renowned space artist, and veteran "message creator", the One Earth Message (http://oneearthmessage.org/) project will change this. Within a global creative act to design a crowd-sourced self-portrait of Earth for the computer memory of NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, everybody can participate.

“This will be a message from and to the Earth. The very act of creating it will be a powerful reminder that we all share the same, small planet. We truly are one Earth.” says Lomberg
