The Pale Blue Dot

Were you a fan of Cosmos, the PBS series hosted by Carl Sagan? You might guess that I was a fan. But the most impressive thing that I have come across from the mind of Carl Sagan is played at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M.


The image is a photo taken by the space probe Voyager, at the suggestion of Sagan, as it moved along its trajectory past Saturn and into the void of the far reaches of the Solar System and looking back at its planet of origin. The narrative is written and read by Sagan.

Every time I hear this, I am expanded and lifted.

In joy!
