25 years ago today, Voyager took the famous Pale Blue Dot photograph...

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by Voyager I from a distance of about 3.7 billion miles. At the urging of Dr Carl Sagan, Ground Control issued a command that directed the distant space craft to turn around and, looking back, to take photos of each of the planets it had visited. From Voyager's vast distance, the Earth was captured as a infinitesimal point of light, actually smaller than a single pixel of the photo. The image was taken with a narrow angle camera lens, with the Sun quite close to the field of view. Quite by accident, the Earth was captured in one of the scattered light rays caused by taking the image at an angle so close to the Sun.

Ariel Cailyn Lloyd Track 10 from the album Voyager (2015) About Ariel: Ariel is named after a sky spirit in Shakespeare's The Tempest. The moon is relatively free of large impact craters and has a complex surface consisting of cratered terrain, smooth plains, and rugged terrain cross-cut by scarps, ridges, and interconnected canyons, some which are hundreds of miles long and more than seven miles deep. There is also evidence of volcanism, tectonics, and cryolava flows. Ariel is the fourth largest of the 27 known moons of Uranus and much of the detailed knowledge of Ariel derives from a single flyby of Uranus by Voyager II which photographed about a third of the moon's surface.
