Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA in 1977 as part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System. Having operated for the past 39 years, the spacecraft still communicates and returns data to us, and as of 2016, it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. When I picture Voyager 1 out there beyond our solar system, I can’t help but imagine the things it has seen on its journey. It’s flown by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and beyond. In 1990, it looked back and took an image known as the “Pale Blue Dot” which shows Earth 6 billion kilometers away, a tiny white speck suspended in the darkness of deep space. It was this breathtaking image that inspired me to create this score because it reminds me that life, as far as we know, is unique to our planet, and very fragile indeed.
旅行者1号太空探测器是由NASA在1977年推出的“旅行者”号项目中的一部分，它的任务主要是研究太阳系外围。在这过去的39年里,飞船依然正常运行并将数据返回给我们，而且截止到2016年，它仍是是离地球最远的人造物体。当我们看到旅行者1号在太阳系之外拍摄到的照片时，我不敢想象它已经飞到了那么远的地方。它曾飞过木星、土星、天王星、海王星。1990年，旅行者1号在距离地球60亿公里外，回眸并拍摄了一张照片。在照片中我们看到地球只是一个暗淡的蓝点，悬浮在太空深处的黑暗之中。这是一个让人惊心动魄的画面。它激发了我创作这张专辑的灵感。它时刻提醒着我们，地球是独一无二的，但也是非常脆弱的。
