Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot

Astronomer Carl Sagan – we are here, the Pale Blue Dot. Our Planet is just a point of light, a lonely pixel.

“ The Earth is a mere point in the vast, encompassing Cosmos. We are too small, on the scale of Worlds, humans are inconsequential.

A thin film of life on the obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal. That dot that’s here, that’s Home – that’s us.

On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, every human being who ever was lived out their lives.

Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there. The Earth is a very small stage in the vast Cosmic arena – a fraction of a dot.

Our tiny world, the pale blue dot.” – Carl Sagan
