Earth From Voyager
This iconic photograph of Earth, known as the “Pale Blue Dot,” was captured by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it looked back at our planet from a distance of about 3.7 billion miles. After completing its primary mission exploring Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 turned its camera toward Earth at the request of Carl Sagan, capturing our planet as a tiny speck in the vastness of space. Meanwhile, Voyager 2 continued its mission, becoming the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune before joining…

This is part of a new series with a historical journey through the solar system. I wanted to create a small memento of the beginning of space missions and have recreated NASA's early space probes using old pictures and information. Voyager 1 and 2 are among my favourite probes and are absolute milestones in space travel. Thanks to them, we have an impression of the outer solar system.

Jupiter Planet Details
A stunning new image of Earth and the Moon has been captured by ESA’s JUICE probe, currently en route to Jupiter. In this photo, taken from 5 million kilometers (3 million miles) away, Earth and its Moon appear as small marbles in the vastness of space. Look closely, and you’ll spot the Moon as a faint circle to the left of Earth. This rare view was taken during inflight tests of JUICE’s cameras, as the spacecraft prepares for its second gravity assist at Venus in 2025. Launched in April…
Voyager 1 Takes Our First Steps To the Stars. Or Has It?
This incredible story officially began in April 1977, when NASA dispatched the first of two probes—known as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, respectively—to explore the outer gas giants. Once those objectives were reached, things took a much more ambitious turn: and in 1986, the Voyager Interstellar Mission was born. After 35 years in space—while virtually the entire planet was […]

Voyager 2 was launched by NASA on August 20, 1977. The probe's primary mission was to visit the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which it completed on October 2, 1989. It is currently the only probe to have visited the ice giants. It is the fourth of five spacecraft to have left the solar system. It has been operational for 41 years and 2 months as of October 20, 2018.
