Pale Blue Dot - Carl Sagan

This is an excerpt from Carl Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot. It's inspired by an image taken at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, a camera turned around for one last photo of Earth.

The words of Sagan, though written 27 years ago are still or rather more relevant today.

  1. The other way round now.
    The aggregate sufferer of occupants greed. The pale bluish dot.
