As ARCHIVED - NASA Voyager 2 enters interstellar space (see go.nasa.gov/2L5vbXM), it’s worth remembering what a (very) long, strange trip it has been. It started more than *four decades* ago.

#OTD 50 years ago: 24 December 1968, this photo was taken by #Apollo8's Bill Anders. It was later declared 'the most influential environmental photograph ever taken' & listed by #Life magazine in its '100 images that changed the world'. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise

#OTD: 29 December 1888, pioneering astrophotographer Isaac Roberts took the first detailed picture of another galaxy: M31, the Great Nebula in #Andromeda. The photo revealed that the nebula had a spiral structure, which was unexpected at the time. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Rob…
