    We Are Here: The Pale Blue Dot

    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...38&sc=fb&cc=fp

    This week marks the 20th anniversary of a photograph. It's a very dramatic photo, even though, at first glance, it's mostly dark and seems to show nothing at all.

    But if you look closely, you can see a tiny speck of light. That speck is the Earth, seen from very, very, very far away.




    Carl Sagan says it best here, a video that still gives me chills every time I watch it.

    Carl Sagan is amazing.

    The photo is still impressive; if you deeply consider the vast implications, it is completely humbling.
