In 1990, the Voyager project planned to shut off the Voyager 1
spacecraft's imaging cameras to conserve power and because the probe,
along with its sibling Voyager 2, would not fly close enough to any
other objects to take pictures. Before the shutdown, the mission
commanded the probe to take a series of 60 images designed to produce
what they termed the "Family Portrait of the Solar System." Executed on
Valentine's Day 1990, this sequence returned images for making color
views of six of the solar system's planets and also imaged the Sun in
monochrome.
