The Pale Blue Dot

 

 

 

Carl Sagan reflects on a timeless image of our planet in a thoughtful video featuring footage from history.

 

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), according to twistedsifter.com.

 

At Sagan's request, the Voyager 1 spacecraft was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take a photo of Earth.
