Our Solar System from Voyager
Credit:
After taking its spectacular pictures of the outer solar system planets,
Voyager 1
looked back at six planets
from the inner solar system. 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 11.
