Earth between the rings of Saturn...
"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we may have some privileged position,
are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark ....
There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
This distant image of our tiny world...
underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another,
and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've got."
--Carl Sagan
Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1-7, 331-4
This point of pale light... a lonely speck... distant image of our tiny world
