Do we still get images from Voyager 1?

There will be no more pictures; engineers turned off the spacecraft’s cameras, to save memory, in 1990, after Voyager 1 snapped the famous image of Earth as a “pale blue dot” in the darkness. Out there in interstellar space, where Voyager 1 roams, there’s “nothing to take pictures of,” Dodd said.

Are we still in contact with Voyager 1?

But farther—much farther—Voyager 1, one of the oldest space probes and the most distant human-made object from Earth, is still doing science. But even as it drifts farther and farther from a dimming sun, it’s still sending information back to Earth, as scientists recently reported in The Astrophysical Journal.

What was the pale blue dot from Voyager 1?

This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed ‘Pale Blue Dot’, is a part of the first ever ‘portrait’ of the solar system taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic.

What was the first image taken by Voyager 1?

Earth and Moon from Voyager’s Perspective. This image of the Earth and moon in a single frame, the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft, was recorded on Sept. 18, 1977, by Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles from Earth.

Is the Voyager 2 still in the solar bubble?

When did the Hubble Space Telescope image come out?

The interstellar plasma is shown with an orange glow similar to the color seen in visible-light images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope that show stars in the Orion nebula traveling through interstellar space. Image released Sept. 12, 2013. [ Read the Full Story Here]
