The Pale Blue Dot

In 1990, as the Voyager 1 probe was speeding out of our solar system, it turned its cameras to the rear.  Looking back, as though taking one last, fleeting glance back at its old home, it snapped a single image.  That image is above.  Requested by Dr. Carl Sagan, the image is one of Earth, our home …

Hello, dreamers.  Once again I'm more than a bit late with a weekly post, but writing continues apace.  Here's what's in store for this week: Pathfinder Work on the Pathfinder rewrite has been slow, but that's to be expected.
