Is #4 a spiral galaxy side view?

Nice try, but no.

Close enough, heheh :d Winner!

It is a picture of the planet Earth at a distance of over 4 billion miles away taken by the barely functioning Voyager 1 in 1990. Voyager 1 has been heading out into nowhere since 1980 when it visited Saturn so it had travelled 10 years at a speed of about 14 miles per second beyond Saturn so it was well beyond even the distance of Pluto.

I was thinking it was a Voyager picture. I was reading about it yesterday trying to figure out #4 and I read that Voyager 1 has reached a distance of 100 AU from the Sun as of August 15th, the most distant human made object traversing space. Within the next 10 years Voyager 1 will have passed through the heliosphere and into interstellar space and The Great Unknown.

I bet in 400 or 500 years when space technology is a lot more advanced, someone will go "fetch" Voyager 1 as a collectors item.

Interesting idea, I wonder how much the Golden Record will be worth at that time? I better get to work on building that rocket...

According to a Wikipedia article, the New Horizons probe will surpass Voyager 1 (in distance from Earth) in approximately 200 years.
