What if Voyager’s Cameras Were Turned on Today? | COSMOS in a minute #41
What would we see if we turned on Voyager 1’s cameras today? Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object at about 24 billion km away, captured the iconic "Pale Blue Dot" image of Earth on Valentine's Day 1990. However, its cameras were turned off permanently just 34 minutes later to save power and prioritise other scientific instruments aboard the spacecraft. If reactivated now, not much would be seen. The Sun appears just 16 times brighter than Earth's moonlight, making images dark with only a bright point of light for the Sun and faint planets. The constellations and sky would remain unchanged compared to what it has seen so far. Voyager 1 needs to travel thousands of light years for noticeable star shifts, requiring more time. Sadly, by then, mankind will be long gone.
