NASA has put out a remastered, clearer version of the famous pale blue dot image. See Bob McDonald blog below to see the picture and read more about it.
This picture of the Earth was taken by Voyager 1 from 6.4 billion kilometers away. It was the brainchild of the late Dr. Carl Sagan, who then turned it into his final book, a powerful essay entitled Pale Blue Dot. I have talked about this image before on both WC and WC2. I have even done a church service using part of Sagan's essay as the text. For someone of a pantheistic inclination like me, it is powerful stuff, a real sense of how we are a part of something vastly bigger than ourselves.
