In fact, the universe appears dull to the naked human eye, the colors are enhanced to appeal to the general public. NASA has been doing this for decades.

This in no way invalidates the authenticity of the images.

what i cant comprehend is

how did it travel more than three billion miles away? like how fast was this thing going

and its crazy the earth would even show up from that far away
it would have been going 32,000 miles an hour to get that far :wtf: is it that easy to build up speed in space?

This probe used the gravitational slingshot, also known as a gravity assist, a technique used in spaceflight where a spacecraft uses the gravitational pull and orbital motion of a planet to alter its trajectory and increase its speed. This allows spacecraft to reach distant planets with less propellant and travel time.

You can track its current location in real time on this interactive 3D map: Eyes on the Solar System - NASA/JPL

Space is so fascinating. It's what really got me interested in science as a whole when I was a kid.

They say Voyager 1 sent images of earth from 3.7 billions of miles away. I can see why some people can’t suspend disbelief, it literally doesn’t seem like it should be possible.
I'm struggling to get rid off photos on my iPhone because my external HD and Image Capture are not working well together....

And they are able to do this..?
