About this image

The view was obtained on Feb. 14, 1990, just minutes before Voyager 1’s cameras were intentionally powered off to conserve power and because the probe — along with its sibling, Voyager 2 — would not make close flybys of any other objects during their lifetimes. Shutting down instruments and other systems on the two Voyager spacecraft has been a gradual and ongoing process that has helped enable their longevity.

Spacecraft: Voyager 1 (as part of the Voyager program, which also includes Voyager 2).

Date Taken: February 14, 1990.

Distance: Approximately 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun, past the orbit of Neptune.

What it shows: Earth appears as a tiny, single-pixel point of light within a ray of scattered sunlight.

Significance: The photograph was taken at the suggestion of astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a member of the Voyager imaging team. He championed the idea of turning the camera back for one final image before turning the cameras off forever to conserve power.

Legacy: The image inspired the title of Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, in which he famously wrote:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us." The photograph is a powerful reminder of Earth's fragility and its place as a "lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark."
