Pale Blue Dot (sheet music)
Pale Blue Dot (Planet Earth from a distance) is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.
I saw a documentary about Voyager 1 and when I heard Carl Sagans speech about this picture, I felt inspired and humble. And very small…
In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny faint blue dot against the vastness of space.
Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take one last photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, at the request of astronomer and author Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan: “-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”.
E-Minor/G-Major. Standard tuning.
