Our Solar System from Voyager
Explanation:
After taking spectacular pictures of our Solar
System's outer planets,
Voyager 1 looked back at six planets
to take our Solar System's first family portrait. Here
Venus,
Earth,
Jupiter,
Saturn,
Uranus, and
Neptune,
were all visible across the sky. Each, however, was now just a
small
speck of light,
dimmer than many of the stars in the sky.
Voyager
1 is only one of four human-made objects to leave our
Solar System,
the other three being
Voyager 2,
and
Pioneer 10
and Pioneer 11.
