We're familiar with the close-up images of Earth captured by orbital satellites and astronauts on the International Space Station. But here are a few pictures of the Earth and Moon captured at a distance, while passing around the Moon, or orbiting distant Saturn. In the words of 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."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.universetoday.com/2008/05/07/photos-of-the-earth-and-moon-from-other-worlds/">Since Sagan commented on Voyager 1's image of Earth, several more pics of the Earth and Moon have been captured that really put our tiny spot in the Universe into perspective</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.universetoday.com/2008/05/07/photos-of-the-earth-and-moon-from-other-worlds/"><STRONG>Voyager 1 - the Pale Blue Dot</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.universetoday.com/2008/05/07/photos-of-the-earth-and-moon-from-other-worlds/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.universetoday.com/img/A5052807-E47F-4005-BD07-CF08C82C0D66" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.universetoday.com/2008/05/07/photos-of-the-earth-and-moon-from-other-worlds/">

Our earth is a mere speck in the vast universe, so far we are the only living beings in it. Why then do we seem so determined to destroy each other and the planet we live on bcause of what basically amounts to petty differences, be they religious, colour of our skin,or sexual preference? Right now this is what we have and there is nothing else out there for us.

I hear that, Tanyamm. Did you see Pangea Day online today?--it was wonderful--all about the things we have in common--not differences.

They led off with that quote from Carl Sagan.

Pangea day was wonderful! Queen Noor of Jordan gave a fantastic speech which I found very toucjing. Yes, we are only a tiny dot and we have to stop messing it up.
