This image (“Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech”), and Carl Sagan’s accompanying poetry from Pale Blue Dot, have been an inspiration for 30 years.  To me, they represent the pinnacle of what we can achieve in exploring our universe, in thoughtfully moving forward, and in making that journey worthwhile through kindness and respect.  “For the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic views from the Voyager mission, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is publishing a new version of the image known as the “Pale Blue Dot.”  Check out this new portrait of our Pale Blue Dot, the only home we’ve ever known, and learn more about it at https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7593
