Summary[edit]

Description
Беларуская: Партрэт Сонечнай сістэмы — Зямля як «бледна-блакітная кропка». Гэты вузкавугольны каляровы здымак Зямлі, які атрымаў назву «Бледная блакітная кропка», з’яўляецца часткай першага ў гісторыі «партрэта» Сонечнай сістэмы, зробленага «Вояджэрам-1». Касмічны карабель атрымаў у агульнай складанасці 60 кадраў для мазаікі Сонечная сістэма з адлегласці больш за 4 мільярды міль ад Зямлі і каля 32 градусаў над экліптыкай. З вялікай адлегласці «Вояджэра» Зямля — гэта проста кропка святла, меншая за памер элемента выявы нават у вузкавугольнай камеры. Зямля была паўмесяцам памерам усяго 0,12 пікселя. Выпадкова Зямля знаходзіцца прама ў цэнтры аднаго з рассеяных светлавых прамянёў, атрыманых у выніку здымкі так блізка да Сонца. Гэты павялічаны малюнак Зямлі быў зроблены праз тры каляровыя фільтры — фіялетавы, сіні і зялёны — і паўторна аб’яднаны для атрымання каляровага малюнка. Фонавыя элементы на малюнку — гэта артэфакты, якія ўзніклі ў выніку павелічэння.
English: Solar System Portrait – Earth as a "Pale Blue Dot".
This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed "Pale Blue Dot", is a part of the first-ever "portrait" of the Solar System taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the Solar System from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic. From Voyager's great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size. Coincidentally, Earth lies right in the center of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the image so close to the sun. This blown-up image of the Earth was taken through three color filters – violet, blue and green – and recombined to produce the color image. The background features in the image are artifacts resulting from the magnification.
