(Valentine’s Day) in 1990, Voyager 1 turned around and took a picture of Earth from billions of miles away (beyond Pluto) amidst the glare of the Sun scattering off camera surfaces, the Earth’s reflected light falling on 1/10th of one pixel. Did you know that the spacecraft also captured Venus? (2nd image: is in the brightest beam of the left inset; Venus is between beams in the right inset; Sun is on the far right).
