bigskyastroclub.org — "We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives." This was posted about 100 days ago, but I thought it deserved reposting.

The Science Friday podcast from a couple of weeks ago replayed Sagan's 1994 interview. He talked about this photo among other things. It's a great interview. I could listen to Sagan talk for hours. His enthusiasm for science and exploration was infectious. I miss him.
