We're reminded that every species that ever lived, every dream ever dared, existed on that pale blue dot connected across time and the universe itself. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’™

We think of the hopes, dreams, hard work, and determination of so many people on that Pale Blue Dot that made this mission โ€“ and this image โ€“ possible. And yet, even now, the Voyagers continue to explore.

The NASA Voyager 1 spacecraft took one of the most iconic photographs of our home planet 35 years ago today. The "Pale Blue Dot" image shows Earth as a pixel-sized point of light, highlighting our vulnerabilityโ€”how small we are on a cosmic scale.

To extend my mission, my team has turned off another science instrument: The Cosmic Ray Subsystem helped confirm my passage into interstellar space. Now, I continue forward with three instruments still gathering data from the great beyond. -V1 ๐Ÿ”— go.nasa.gov/4koaCpV

As an emissary of humanity who will continue traveling into the cosmos long after I lose contact with my team on Earth, a certain phrase seems poignant today and always. Maybe you know it. Live long and prosper. ๐Ÿ–– -V1

I'm celebrating CanberraDSN ๐Ÿ“ก from interstellar space. Why? Because it's the only Deep Space Network complex that communicate with me, due to its position in the Southern Hemisphere! ๐Ÿ“ก -V2

An influential member of my mission team โ€“ Carl Sagan โ€“ once said: "We are made of star-stuff." โœจ As I venture deeper into the cosmos than any human-made object has ever gone, I'm surrounded by the very elements that made each of you. -V1

"What data are you still collecting?" Thanks for asking ๐Ÿ˜Š Both spacecraft are collecting data on the interstellar medium, the space between the stars โ€“ measuring the magnetic field, particles and cosmic rays, and the effects of shocks and pressure fronts from the Sun.

Did you know that a modern cellphone has about 3 million times more memory than our onboard systems? Even though we're time capsules of an era in many ways (we each have an 8-track tape player for recording data), we're still on the cutting edge of space exploration!

My cameras were powered off more than 25 years ago, but people often want to know what it would look like if I could take a picture now. ๐Ÿ“ธ From interstellar space, our Sun would look like nothing more than a star in the night sky โ€“ and Earth wouldn't be visible at all! -V1

"That's here. That's home. That's us." One of the last photos I ever took, this image of Earth โ€“ our Pale Blue Dot โ€“ was captured on Feb. 14, 1990, as I was speeding out of the solar system. Be good to one another, Earthlings. -V1

Our legacies are often defined by leaving the solar system โ€“ but we did a LOT inside the solar system, too! โ˜‘๏ธ First up-close observations of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune โ˜‘๏ธ Discovered the rings of Jupiter and saw volcanoes on Io โ˜‘๏ธ Spotted 23 new moons at the outer planets

Hey, did you know there's a nifty way to follow our journeys from launch to interstellar space? Check out this interactive timeline: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sysโ€ฆ

While we won't be receiving commands from our team on Earth for a few months, they'll still be able to receive our science data. This team is nothing if not tenacious!
