Pale Blue Dot - Revisited

"Pale Blue Dot" remains the most mesmerising and inspiring photographs ever taken in the history of mankind. In its simlplicity and forlornness, it shows us - Homo Sapiens - mighty rulers of this planet, our humble place in this wilderness which we call ... Cosmos...

Earth: A Pale Blue Dot Suspended in a Sunbeam (inside blue circle)

A photograph, it is said, is more than thosand words... and ... this photograph carries with it an impact which is more devastating to our inflated ego than the explosion of all the nuclear arsenal of this earth detonated together and at the same time more soothing to our restless soul than the effect of religious and spiritual sermons, preachings of sages through the ages...

We are profoundly indebted to you Carl  ...
