In 1990, NASA’s Voyager 1 turned its camera back toward Earth — from 3.7 billion miles away. At the request of astronomer Carl Sagan, the spacecraft captured one of the most famous images in history: the Pale Blue Dot. Before that moment, Voyager had already flown past Jupiter and Saturn, sending back breathtaking images of the outer planets. But this final look back gave humanity a new perspective: every person who ever lived, every story ever told… all on that tiny speck of light. #voyager #na
