The Earth and moon star in this first photo from Wall-E, one of NASA's two Mars Cube One cubesats, that launched with the agency's InSight Mars lander on May 5, 2018. This view of Earth and the moon was taken May 9. [620,000 miles](NASA/JPL-Caltech)
In 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a picture of the earth, named as the “Pale Blue Dot” from 3.7 billion miles away.

I was looking at that photo thinking “well at least the light from the shade, will be dimming as the telescope flies further away from the sun”.
Until it dawned on my, it will actually be getting brighter, then.
I guess the telescope will be somewhat limited on it’s view, for the most light-sensitive shots, to only 180% degree or just shy of that.
