Voyager 1 took dozens of other photos that day, capturing five other planets and the sun in a multi-image "solar system family portrait." But thePale Blue Dot picturestands out, reminding us that Earth is a small outpost of life in an incomprehensibly vast universe. Voyager 1 enters inte...
FromVoyager’s great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size. Coincidentally, Earth lies right in the center of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the...
Having operated for the past 39 years, the spacecraft still communicates and returns data to us, and as of 2016, it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. When I picture Voyager 1 out there beyond our solar system, I can’t help but imagine the things it has seen on its journey...

Thirty years have now passed since the Voyager 1 spacecraft snapped one of the most iconic and memorable pictures in spaceflight history. Known as the “Pale Blue Dot,” the heart-rending view shows planet Earth as a single, bright blue pixel in the vastness of space, as seen from the ou...

OK, Voyager is not a natural phenomenon. But it IS phenomenal, and it does fit with my earth sciences theme – becauseVoyager has left the solar systemand gone where no man has gone before. Well, it did that ages ago, but then came Star Trek – The Motion picture, and when I starte...
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, "Fissure Quest," however, reveals in at least one universe, that return to Earth never happened. When the USS Voyager was initially stranded in the Delta quadrant, it was the first time Star Trek took the concept of being lost in space and ...
And the other day I received this picture from a fan who lives in the centre of Australia, over 3000 kilometres away, where the first real Poet Tree has sprouted up at Alice Springs! Thanks to roving reporter Janne Leddin Hardy, the braille on this tree says: 2 C is 2 KNOW… which ...
Never mind. That's the underlying continuity/believability-breaker, but it's fairly minor and not worth dwelling on. (Given how flexibleVoyager's position in the Delta Quadrant has been in the past, if the writers are going to break this rule again, they might as well do it for a worth...
