Pale Blue Dot: Voyager 1 (Revisited) - Iconic Cosmic Perspective, Enhanced for the Modern Age

Reacquaint yourself with a profound piece of history with the Pale Blue Dot Revisited print, an enhanced version of the iconic photograph of Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by NASA’s Voyager 1. 

Captured from an astonishing distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun, the original image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan's book, "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space." In this profound narrative, Sagan wrote, "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."

A Modern Take on a Classic Image

In 2020, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original image, NASA published a new version: Pale Blue Dot Revisited. Utilizing modern image processing techniques, this version maintains the integrity of the original data while enhancing brightness levels and colors to better highlight Earth.

The image appears brighter and less grainy, with the Earth standing out within a scattered ray of sunlight. Voyager 1’s unique vantage point shows Earth as a tiny point of light, about a pixel in size, emphasizing our place in the vast cosmos.
