Pathways

I went for a walk this morning, at one point I sat on a bench took the above shot and looked at the sky, a wonderful sight. Then I started to think about a recent TV broadcast I had watched, detailing the Voyager space programme.
There were too many facts for my aging brain to absorb and retain other than, briefly.
They were launched in September 1977 by NASA from Cape Cavaveral.
They have now covered 13.6 billion miles and are about to leave our Galaxy. They are still sending back data.
It made me feel very insignificant.
