The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, at the request of Carl Sagan.  
Voyager 1 is a 1,592 lb (722 kg) space probe launched by NASA in 1977, to study the outer Solar System and interstellar space. Operating for 34 years, the spacecraft continues to receive routine commands and transmit data back. At a distance of 10.8 billion miles, it is the farthest man-made object from Earth.   More info:  Pale Blue Dot   Voyager 1
