22.2 billion kilometers away in deep space, what did Voyager 1 capture in its last photo?

In fact, it is different from what most people imagine. In the remote depths of the universe, that place 22.2 billion kilometers away from human civilization, there is nothing gorgeous and colorful that humans can imagine. Travel The photos taken by the aircraft are only endless darkness. This kind of darkness is not ordinary black, but represents the emptiness and death of the universe. What humans fear most is eternal darkness and loneliness, and in the deep space hundreds of millions of miles away, this is all we have, without any breath of life to accompany it. This photo sent back by the traveler represents the infinity of the universe and the terrifying eternity of death.

It is hard to imagine that such a machine carrying human civilization was launched in the 1970s. It is now 2020, and the traveler's footprints in this universe have spanned nearly 50 years. Every second at this moment, it is reaching places that other humans have never reached, and every second is a new pioneer and exploration. who. The Voyager departs from the Earth, bids farewell to the Earth, crosses the solar system, and enters a large range of the Milky Way. According to scientists' calculations, the Voyager will run out of fuel around 2025, and it will be completed by then. His own mission is to take a very solid step for human civilization to explore the universe.

In the universe 22.2 billion kilometers away, no matter how sophisticated the equipment carried by the travelers at that time, it would never be possible to photograph the Earth. The only photo of the earth taken by a traveler was as early as the 1990s. At that time, the traveler was more than six billion kilometers away from the earth. In that photo, the earth is almost a tiny and elusive origin. If scientists hadn't found it and marked it, ordinary people would never have noticed it.

The existence of the earth in this universe is really insignificant. Compared with the entire vast universe, the small earth really has nothing to show off. Travelers shoulder the mission of human civilization and rush towards The deep space is getting farther and farther and more and more unknown. This may be the meaning of its existence.
