That said, why is the area around the 'earth' dark? what about the other planets and objects some even larger than the earth? Ni kwasababu ya ODM

My thinking is Voyager 1 traveled away from the sun right? in that case at such far distances at the edge of the solar system, it should be able to capture a number of objects in one view/scope. Same way at a space shuttle an astronaut can view more than one continents unlike one in a plane..or how hubble captured other galaxies in totality. sijui kama unanielewa. i.am.back!!!!

Same way at a space shuttle an astronaut can view more than one continents unlike one in a plane..or how hubble captured other galaxies in totality. sijui kama unanielewa. it's a matter of perspective - when focusing in the narrow area of the solar system that our planet is in - you may not see other dots unless they are in that narrow view. and again - may be they are there - we just don't have them marked. i.e. here is mars - but i seriously doubt they are anything close. in the vastness that is space. the one thing that we really don't understand well (I think we think we do but we may not is gravity) the sun's gravity is still felt that far off. look up the scales here on a scaled down version of the solar system where the distance from the sun to earth is 9.71 m - the distance to where is object is would be almost 300meters and with that view point the expanse of what is before you (the field of view) would be overwhelming unless you focused on one small area (where the said blue marble is present) and the very fact that they are not seen here shows how far they are from each other All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

The wide-angle photograph of the sun and inner planets (not visible), with Pale Blue Dot superimposed on the left, Venus to its right  the superimposed image is  All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Jesus Quote:The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. Neither Voyager spacecraft is heading toward any particular star, but Voyager 1 will pass within 1.6 light-years of the star Gliese 445, currently in the constellation Camelopardalis, in about 40,000 years. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Will it survive that long? by the way 1.6 light years = 9.3 Trillion Miles!i.am.back!!!!

There was the V'ger movie which was actually based on a voyager spacecraft getting lost and coming back. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

here is an interesting analogy - If the sun was a grapefruit, Earth would be the size of a grain of raw sugar 50 ft away! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Illusion. Very subtle one at that.
