This photograph of Earth was taken on February 14, 1990, as the Voyager I spacecraft was leaving our solar system. Before continuing its journey into interstellar space, it turned its camera back toward Earth one last time and captured this final image of its home planet. Carl Sagan called it the Pale Blue Dot, a moment he immortalized in his 1994 book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space:
“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.”
This token is a reminder that Earth is a precious gift we all share. Without it, we wouldn’t be. Let’s love it, thank it, and care for it every day.
