Voyager 1’s photographs included Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus. According to NASA’s website, ‘Mars was obscured by scattered sunlight bouncing around in the camera, Mercury was too close to the Sun, and dwarf planet Pluto was too tiny, too far away, and too dark to be detected’. The images gave humanity an unprecedented view of our planetary neighbourhood, showing each world as a faint dot, underscoring the vastness of space.
