The image was zoomed in to capture a view of the Earth.The reason why you see Earth highlighted like that is because it lied right in the center of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the image so close to the sun."From Voyager's great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size."*Cristina: Altough it may sound strange, it's a good thing that it managed to make you cry. Crying is perhaps the easiest and fastest way to release emotional pain and it is also a natural way of releasing toxins that are associated with various emotions: both "good" and "bad". The fact that this picture managed to touch a sensitive chord inside of you can only be good. ;) Alex, the other pixels aren’t empty. The image was zoomed in to capture a view of the Earth.
