Spark and Perl go looking
We have seen this one before.
It is the same as Voyager 1. But it went a different way.
It is the only thing that has ever been to Uranus and Neptune.
At Uranus and at Neptune, only ONCE?
Once each.
Flying past, not stopping, a long time ago.
So every picture…
Came from this one machine on this one trip.
Some doors have only been opened once.
No — just as tiny, and further out than its twin.
But every picture of Uranus and Neptune you will ever be shown was taken from exactly where you are sitting.
From nowhere on Earth.
Where the Earth is clear, it climbs high in the sky. The darker it gets, the lower it stays. Where it is black, it never comes up. No shading at all: it does not matter where you live.
