„The Pale Blue Dot“ is a photograph by NASA’s Voyager 1, requested by astronomer and author Carl Sagan.
Taken on Feb. 14, 1990, at a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun, its a last look back to Earth before the orbter‘s leaving of our solar system into interstellar space.
The revised image was processed by JPL engineer and image processing enthusiast Kevin M. Gill with input from two of the image's original planners, Candy Hansen and William Kosmann.

Optimizing the Earth Dot using artificial intelligence is a simple concept shaping a work that critically challenge the infinite new possibilities of AI.
Inspired by endless suppliers on platforms such as Etsy, who merely exploit the original NASA motif commercially without any significant effort of their own, this enhanced work however will not be offered as products on a regular basis (for the time being).

The AI-optimized versions of both PBD images are available to download here. (Files are suitable for prints up to 60cm (2ft) at 300dpi – printouts of this size are also required to see the difference)
