(!!Accidentally deleted this video entry!!....but it is worth infinite re-posting IMO)

pale blue dot:.best of the best, nobody could have said it any better or made it any clearer....the greatest  ever Carl Sagan!!

The famous “pale blue dot” photo, the picture  that appears in the beginning of the video, is planet Earth as seen from Voyager 1 while on the edge of our solar system (approximately 3,762,136,324 miles from home).

Sagan’s words are always worth remembering.
