I've seen this picture many times, but this is the first time I noticed the moon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

You hate saturn's rings? :c

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Only this particular portion of them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

You should hate bigger...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Haha I get it, it's because everything you hate is on earth, and the moon, and whatever Saturn's rings are made of. Genius rotflmao.

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.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. 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. 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.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, 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.

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 facts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Look at that dot.

Every asshole you ever knew is there. Every corrupt politician stealing food from the needy is there. Every child molester, every rapist you ever read about. Every war criminal ever identified is right fucking there.

Honestly, all the good stuff is too, but damn... maybe we should just do the universe a favor before all those fuckwits escape and pollute the cosmos.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Woah, you sound higher than I am!

... But honestly, cool insights, thanks

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

If you like that, then you should search for other Carl Sagan writing and videos. Cosmos is a good start.

You chose the worst place to stand, you're completely obscured, how am I meant to judge your appearance when you fail to even fill a couple of pixels?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So if I understand your dialect correctly, you’re saying that you can tell I’ve been dieting. Thanks!!
