Voyager 2 - Images?

Voyager is of historic interest only.

The link does not allow me in. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen...and those who do not know what happened.</em></p> </div>

I mentioned the parallax thing because I actually use this idea in one of my graphic novels. The first unmanned interstellar probes take these kinds of measurements to refine the distances to stars for planned future manned interstellar ships. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

Thanks, this link worked.<br /><br />At first glance, I would say this is a cropped version of the wide field image and the fainter dot is one of the other planets that just happens to be in the field of view.<br /><br />I won't be able to confirm this until I look at the wide fields. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

This wide angle picture? It's one of the pictures Andrew linked in this post. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Thanks, I'd looked at that one before but its kind of hard to see much of anything as far as exact position of the dots. I probably won't be able to determine with a high degree of certainty what the faint dot is but I'll keep looking. I can use Starry Night when I get home to see what the planetary positions were on the date the image was made so I can rule out or say with some certainty that it was one of the other planets. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

Elimination of other possibilities should be ruled out.
