While the photos of the planets are amazing images that have led to a much deeper understanding of our solar system the most famous image is called “Family Portrait of the Solar System” — a composite of 60 images Voyager 1 took in 1990 before the programmers permanently shut off its camera to conserve energy.A section of NASA’s “Pale Blue Dot” image from Voyager 1.

Over the YearsAfter the cameras turned off the Voyagers continued into deeper space far past the last planetary bodies in our solar system. In February of 1998 over two decades after it was launched Voyager 1 had moved farther from Earth than Pioneer 10 making it the farthest object from Earth in space.In December of 2004 (Voyager 1) and August of 2007 (Voyager 2) the Voyagers crossed the termination shock which is basically the beginning of the ending of our sun’s
