A little perspective : December 20, 2010 1:00 PM PST One of the most famous images ever snapped by Voyager 1, taken on June 6, 1990, was dubbed the "pale blue dot," depicting Earth on a scale never before seen. Of the "pale blue dot," astronomer Carl Sagan said: "That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
