Sky, sea, land, and she,
Gazing toward the horizon.
A part of the world a part of her.
Together, alone. Alone, together.

Pale Blue Dot
February 14th marked the 25th anniversary of the Pale Blue Dot, one of history’s most iconic photos. It was taken by NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe approximately 6 billion kilometers away from Earth. The probe had completed its primary mission. It was exiting our solar system when Carl Sagan requested that NASA turn its camera around and take one more series of photos. Thus, the “Pale Blue Dot” came to be, one of the last photos ever taken by the Voyager 1. That bright speck, that white pixel in the sunbeam at the top of the photo, that is our home, our Earth.
