If Carl Sagan were alive today, he would have turned 90 on November 9, 2024. Sadly, pneumonia took this opportunity from him on December 20, 1996, just before the millennium turned (so close!). • Yet, Sagan had the chance to publish one of the most beautiful texts I've ever read two years before his passing: the Pale Blue Dot, published in 1994 in the book of the same name. The text was inspired by the image taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft on February 14, 1990. • Pale Blue Dot _______ • 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, 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 posturing, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale blue light. • Our planet is a lonely speck in the great cosmic dark. 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. • The astronomy of the twentieth century has been a humbling experience. It has taught us our place in the cosmos. Nothing was found to show that our planet has some privileged position. We seem to be a small part of an immense universe. • 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 • I was inspired by the end of this video _______ • • A HISTÓRIA DA TERRA • Music used (relax, it's copyright-free) • Clair de Lune • Claude Debussy • https://archive.org/details/ClairDeLunedeb... • Software _______ • Editor: CapCut mobile free • Footages: Pexels • Historical footages: YouTube videos • Device: Samsung Galaxy A05
