Carl Sagan unveils the Pale Blue Dot image

Ғылым және технология

30 years ago, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft took an image of our home planet from 6.4 billion kilometers away. Our co-founder Carl Sagan eloquently described what that image meant for humanity.

    Carl Sagan is one of my favourite person ever. The main reason is not that he was a brilliant scientist, or writer or communicator etc. But that you can feel and see, he has all the best intentions. He has love for humankind, and kindly helping everyone the ways he was able to. This is sadly super rare.

    Tremendously powerful and moving. It would be nice if the information for this video could state the exact date and location (I assume maybe JPL in Pasadena?) where Sagan gave this speech. Was this actually the occasion when the image was first unveiled or perhaps a later speech he gave about it? These things are historically important and should be specified. UPDATE: I see that another video of this same wonderful short speech, posted by the Planetary Society a few years earlier (with a much more annoying and distracting "jazzy" music background), gives the date as June 6, 1990. I have not verified that date but it is helpful that they provided it.

    The whole speech. Look again at that dot. 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. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. - Carl Sagan 1934-1996

    Like Carl Sagan said….Let us preserve and cherish the only home we have! Let’s not take Earth for granted, for it is so precious, that it can be gone in a blink of an eye…May there be peace and may humankind protect all the natural resources that the Earth provides!
