Space telescopes

Planets are at their real angle around the Sun today, with their distances evened out so all of them fit. Lines point to roughly where each telescope works.

Pale Blue Dot

On February 14, 1990, more than 6 billion km from home, Voyager 1 turned around and took this picture. That speck of light is Earth, smaller than one pixel of Voyager's camera.

Every photograph here was taken on it, or by something launched from it.
