Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to the January 1st New Year's Day edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "The Largest Rock in the Solar System." Or, as some eagle-eyes might realize, 'The Pale Blue Dot.' Voyager 1 snapped this photo of its home (Planet Earth) in 1990 on its way out of the Solar System.
"That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives" {Carl Sagan).
It seems a fitting reminder on this first day of 2023. Happy New Year.

Looking at this makes me feel like we are the universe on the necklace of the cat in Men in Black.
