"This is it though the scientists," as they huddled around the
displays in the NASA control room. Finally, after decades of
waiting, the Voyager II probe was about to pass the
Heliopause of the Solar system and reach Interstellar space.
Best of all, unlike it’s counterpart Voyager I, when it
had reached the Heliopause, Voyager II’s onboard camera was
still functioning well enough to take pictures. So a command
was sent out to take a picture of the entire Solar System, for the
first time ever. This will beat even the Pale Blue Dot
Picture Voyager I took," thought the collectively gathered
scientists.

picture came in, and was downloaded to the main viewer, a
collective gasp occurred. There, neatly in the center of the
picture, blocking out the sun was a sign that said,
