NASA space probe Voyager 1 has, by all accounts, left the solar system and is now venturing through deep space towards a red dwarf star called Gliese 445, where it should, all going well, arrive in about 38,000 years.
And who knows, should Gliese 445 host a suitable planet, it may one day end up becoming home to humanity in the long distant future, but that’s a whole other story.
The above photo (it’s actually made up of three images) of our current home planet, and the Moon, was taken by Voyager 1 on 18 September 1977, soon after commencing its epic journey.
There’s no place like home, no?
