The 30-Second Trick For We Are Here: The Pale Blue Dot, Narrated by Carl Sagan

Look once again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you enjoy, everybody you know, everybody you ever became aware of, every human who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our happiness and suffering, thousands of confident faiths, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and dad, enthusiastic child, creator and explorer, every instructor of morals, every corrupt political leader, every "super star," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our types lived there-- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Think about the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in splendor and triumph, they might become the short-lived masters of a fraction of a dot. Think about the limitless ruthlessness checked out by the occupants of one corner of this pixel on the hardly distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how regular their misconceptions, how excited they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our world is a lonely speck in the fantastic covering cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no tip that help will originate from somewhere else to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world understood up until now to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the future, to which our types could migrate.

Settle, not yet. Like A Reliable Source or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been stated that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is maybe no much better presentation of the folly of human conceits than this far-off image of our small world.
