Earth from 4 billions miles away

You wanna see a picture of the Earth from 4 billions miles away? Go here.

But the most important is this:
It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.


Thanks Nimo for the link!
