This updated version uses modern image-processing software and techniques to revisit the well-known Voyager view while attempting to respect the original data and intent of those who planned the images. Image: For the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic images taken by NASA’s Voyager mission, a new version of the image known as “the Pale Blue Dot.” Planet Earth is visible as a bright speck within the sunbeam just right of center and appears softly blue, as in the original version published in 1990. The rays of sunlight due to scattering within the camera optics intersect with Earth, reminding us that from Voyager’s position 6 billion kilometers from home, the Earth/Sun separation was only a matter of a few degrees. Our planet takes up less than a single pixel and for that reason is not fully resolved.

You will love how it brings out the colors and detailed while remaining very resistant.The 30th anniversary of the famous ‘Pale Blue Dot’ image of Earth, which took place on February 14, is an appropriate occasion for the newly updated image below, which brings the latest methods to bear on the data Voyager 1 presented us. What is the Material? We are using Industry leading Premium Museum Quality Matte Paper. You support your communities buying from us. Where is it made and where does it ships from? For Canada, the UK, the USA, Australia and most EU countries, this poster printed locally and ships domestically with premium services such as Purolator (Canada), Fedex (USA), Parcelforce (UK), PSP Logistics (Australia). We are committed to local businesses.

You can choose to keep or remove the Earth close-up using the corresponding selector.

We are offering both (choose in the selector). The NASA published two versions of the Pale Blue Dot: one in 1990 and the other, which they called 'revisited', in 2020 (they took the first one and enhanced using modern processing technique without compromising the source or the intent).If you are wondering where the banding comes from, it is actually lens flare from the sun.A beautiful poster heavy in meaning that any true Space lover will appreciate.

We also made a few enhancements so that it looks gorgeous on your wall (obviously, without altering the original image intent or the source material). We took the official shots published by the NASA, added the very famous Carl Sagan’s quote and a close-up (optional) on the pale blue dot (we used Earthrise for the close-up).
