Summary[]
The journeys of the Voyager probes is put in the context of the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, with a centuries-long tradition of sailing ship explorers, and its contemporary thinkers, such as Constantijn Huygens and his son Christian. Their discoveries are compared to the Voyager probes' discoveries among the Jovian and Saturn systems. Carl Sagan was a member of the Voyager research team, and production of the episode coincided with the probes arriving at Jupiter; Sagan is filmed receiving one of the first-ever images of one of Jupiter's moons.
