This November, Voyager 1 will reach a light-day from Earth.
From that distance, our world (the pale blue dot) will appear as it was yesterday and over time, drift further into the past.
When attention locks onto something, the rest of the world quietly disappears.
Even gravity, apparently.
A birthday reception.
Crystal glasses. Candlelight.
A countdown no one hears.
Discover Pebble in the Dark.
Books 1 & 2 are free on Kindle until 2 March.

It takes the Sun 225–250 million years to orbit the Milky Way’s centre. A Galactic Year.
Travelling at 515,000 mph, we’ve only made about 20 laps in the Sun’s 4.6 billion year history. The last time we were in this spot, dinosaurs were just appearing! 🦖✨
