Our Solar System from Voyager

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

After photographing the outer planets, Voyager 1 turned back to capture the first "family portrait" of our Solar System. Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were all visible, though each appeared as only a small, dim speck of light. Voyager 1 is one of four human-made objects to leave our Solar System, along with Voyager 2, Pioneer 10, and Pioneer 11.
