RE: Hello world

The view of the Galaxy makes our Solar System seem small, which is kind of weird to say for me. This photo of Laniakea makes our Galaxy seem small.

What are those streaks of light on the photo? I don't see the Earth on it at all. Didn't Voyager take any pictures before it got so far away?

Sort:  

Those light streaks are result of sunlight reflection within the camera. If you look closely at the rightest light streak, you will see small dot, well, that's Earth :) really small
This is the last picture taken by Voyager, as it was approaching Pluto.
