@paradoxplanet0: Taken by Voyager 1 from roughly 6 billion kilometres away, this single pixel contains every person you’ve ever loved, every empire that ever rose, and every story ever told. Carl Sagan called it the Pale Blue Dot a stark reminder of how fragile our world really is. #palebluedot #Astronomy #nasa #universe #voyager1

gearratio380 :

so still in line of sight and been flying since the 70s thats why space travel to far planets is not possible. man kind was not made to space travel

simpy :

wow had to imagine how there so much suffering on that little planet

Brenda Sheppard-Tayl :

What is that long smokey line

MA Fairooz :

What type of technology used to receive photos from Voyeger as claimed. Is this true that we can send and receive information from such a long distance. Give me a break guys

johnnyringo512 :

you could see that but can't see the flag on the moon

Robert :

Getting the pictures took some preparation. On February 13, Voyager 1 powered up its cameras and spent three hours warming them before beginning the sequence. Cold equipment billions of kilometers from the Sun did not simply snap to attention. The familiar Pale Blue Dot picture was not a single unfiltered snapshot. It is a color composite assembled from three exposures taken through green, blue and violet filters by Voyager 1’s narrow-angle camera. Those exposures formed part of a 60-image sequence now called the Family Portrait of the Solar System. The sequence captured the Sun and six planets: Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Earth and Venus. Mercury was too close to the Sun to be imaged, scattered sunlight obscured Mars, and Pluto was too small, distant and dark to be detected. Earth barely made it into the picture in another sense. It occupies about 0.12 pixel, and sits inside a band of sunlight scattered through the camera’s optics. It is genuinely difficult to find.

Nick Ryder :

to whom it may concerns: we are alone in universe *** Lol .

saintmartin261 :

Impressive range from voyager 1… technology at its best 👌

I,M CYRUS :

where is the sun

Humble-man رجل متواضع :

What is so strange is the other planets within the solar system cannot be seen and some of them are bigger and closer to the Voyager 1.

🍅ㅌㄴ RሀടО¹⁰ de 🦈Yail :

yeah! who took the picture?

Remmy🪬 :

Looks flat ..

patrice :

Even if it was 1million km you wouldn't see Earth.

Jovan🇷🇸 :

did you take the picture or did someone tell you that this is the case, which camera is there, how is it powered, which battery does it use, keep in mind the extreme temperatures

Roger :

😂😂😂yea ok

mickster655 :

impossible! can see the Earth but can't see the sun how ridiculous that is. remote controls can't work a billion miles

Jesse Ransome :

Where heaven?

Akinsola Samuel :

What year did Voyager 1 take this picture? Can it still take pictures where it is currently? Leaving our solar system, does it mean Voyager is out of the Milky Way and heading to Andromeder?

John G :

Now that is the actual photo of the planet we live on now. Do you really think religion has anything to do with that? Really just take a look

Mteriors :

Awesome!

kirby4 :

Why can we see the other planets or the sun in that picture?

FLaT🐱CaT :

Zakaria Elidrissi630 :

HubCapBilly :

Yea that far away the sun and moon and mars and all that would appear in the image as well

Jackie the pet sitter :

And there I am I can see myself. can you see me waving?😂
