APOD: 2020 February 14 - The Pale Blue Dot

WOW! we are so used to watching our skies, seeking planets in our Solar System, moons, stars through the vastness of the Universe and other celestial bodies... We, as a species, fail to store the image of just where we are and what we look like from any object some 4-Billion miles in space and from a spacecraft designed, crafted, and manufactured by humans on Planet Earth...

We are but a microcosm of all celestial objects in this Universe... How minute we really are in God's creation... is there another object just like our Earth sitting somewhere in space with life looking back at their planet? or are we alone?

What an amazing and humbling picture and statement. And it hasn't changed.

Good Friday Valentines Day, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price. Thank you for posting the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Friday, February 14, 2020 entitled "The Pale Blue Dot."

Pale blue dot that is the planet we call earth and as the LORD said we as human beings are the crown of HIS creation.
Pale blue dot reminds me of microdot LSD. While blotter was the most creative appearing, microdot packs a punch :-)

"Explanation: On Valentine's Day in 1990, cruising four billion miles from the Sun, the Voyager 1 spacecraft looked back one last time to make the first ever Solar System family portrait. The portrait consists of the Sun and six planets in a 60 frame mosaic made from a vantage point 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane. Planet Earth was captured within a single pixel in this single frame. It's the pale blue dot within the sunbeam just right of center in this reprocessed version of the now famous view from Voyager. Astronomer Carl Sagan originated the idea of using Voyager's camera to look back toward home from a distant perspective. Thirty years later, on this Valentine's day, look again at the pale blue dot."

Thank you my friends Maj Marty Hogan and Sgt (Join to see) for mentioning me.
