Pale blue dot was a concept by Carl Sagan to show just how small, fragile and I would say insignificant our planet is. He was the chief consultant to the voyeger missions, a mission to send space probes to the outer planets and their moons and then send them them outside our solar system into the vast unknown of the universe, travelling forever carrying a message from us to anybody or anything out there.

Carl Sagan insisted that at the outer fringes of our solar system, just before the probe takes off into the vast unknown of the universe, voyeger 1's camera should turn to the earth and take one last picture. That picture shows the earth as a little speck of pale blue dot. The picture itself became famously known as the Pale blue dot.

The earth is that tiny speck being shown by the arrow.


Watch and listen to Carl Sagan in the video below to appreciate it more;

After watching it, you will then begin to wonder;

Why the wars?
Why the hatred?
Why the religious intolerance?
Why the greed.

Our destiny is tied together inside this time vehicle.

"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 " . - Pale Blue Dot Carl Sagan
