On February 14, 1990 — how romantic — the Voyager 1 probe turned around to aim its cameras at Earth, which was then 6 billion kilometers away. It captured a photograph that would become iconic. The image was later renamed by scientist Carl Sagan, who was then part of the probe’s imaging team.

This image alone highlights how our world — Earth — is nothing more than a tiny, almost absurd pale blue dot in the vast emptiness of space. Carl Sagan would go on to say:

"Astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

Nearly 47 years after its launch, the probe continues on an even more ambitious mission — far beyond the original expectations that gave it just five years to live. A true feat of engineering, it has inspired an entire generation with one breathtaking image after another.
