César, that's a lovely video. Thank you.

May the pale blue dot live for a long, long time, and may it long be the home of living beings, and hopefully of human beings, too!

Juno Looks Back, Photographs Earth-Moon System
Discovery News | Ian O'Neill | 2011 Aug 30

  • Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space,
    Somewhere far away in space and time,
    Staring upward at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky,
    We’re marooned on a small island, in an endless sea
    Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
    But tonight, on this small planet, on earth
    We’re going to rock civilization...

    – Lyrics from "Prelude/Slam" by Pendulum
