EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible journey of Voyager 2, a spacecraft that embarked on an interstellar mission like no other. Launched from Cape Kennedy on August 20,1977, this intrepid explorer visited some of our solar system's most enigmatic planets. The illustration showcases the four key destinations of Voyager 2's odyssey. At the left side, we witness Jupiter in all its glory, featuring its iconic Great Red Spot. Moving towards the lower right corner, Saturn emerges with its majestic rings shining brightly against the backdrop of space. As we shift our gaze to the upper right section, two blue planets come into view - Uranus and Neptune - both exuding an air of mystery and allure. Throughout its voyage, Voyager 2 diligently captured thousands of breathtaking images showcasing these celestial wonders and their enchanting moons. The TV imaging camera positioned at the top of Voyagers' upper boom can be seen prominently in front of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While it is important to note that this picture does not depict accurate scale proportions between these magnificent bodies, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our insatiable thirst for exploration beyond Earth's boundaries.
