The Pale Blue Dot

A while back I was sent a Feedblitz for the blog from the Bad Astronomy weblog run by Phil Platt. In it was a link to a picture taken by the Voyager spacecraft on it's way out of the solar system which was of the Earth from that great distance. It was called "The Pale Blue Dot" by the late Carl Sagan (astronomer and educator of Cosmos fame). The picture was stunning; especially when taken with the words of the great astronomer himself who was the advocate for the taking of that picture in the first place (See at the bottom of the post for the link). Now, on YouTube I have found some videos that work with this picture:

[1] Pale Blue Dot by Ice-Core Scientist with their own indie rock music to go with it
