Science Memory by Aidan Subrahimovic

One of my favorite space exploration events would likely be the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecrafts’ journey through the solar system. My younger self always seemed to think in superlatives, so I was initially interested in just how far we were able to go in terms of our scientific reach, and looking into a spacecraft that is currently well into the outermost reaches of the solar system had me in absolute awe. The most meaningful part of the whole experience was getting to see the Pale Blue Dot, an image of Earth taken by Voyager 1 from hundreds of millions of miles away, which taught me deep humility in terms of my place in the universe.
