On February 14, 1970, the Voyager 1 space probe was speeding towards the edge of the solar system. Before heading off into outer space, NASA controllers asked it turn and take one final look at home.

In that moment, Voyager snapped what has become one of the most iconic and humbling images of Earth. From over 3.5 billion miles away, Earth appeared as a tiny, pale blue dot no bigger than a single pixel.

This site is about that pale blue dot, an ephemeral, finite world that we call home.
