If you look at the Earth from 6 billion kilometers away..?

I think you can clearly see the dot shown by the arrow. This is one of the most beautiful photographs ever taken. It was taken by the Voyager spacecraft in 1990. This photograph shows how the Earth would appear to someone looking at it from a distance of 6 billion kilometers. That photograph, which appears as a very small blue dot in the solar system, is known as the Pale Blue Dot.

Here are some words written by the scientist Carl Sagan, who was fascinated by this photograph.

"Look at that tiny dot. That is us. That is here. Our home. Inside that dot is everyone you know. Everyone you love. Everyone you know and don't know lives and has lived inside that dot. We rejoice and suffer from it. Thousands of religions, philosophies, economic systems are inside it. ...

Both hunters and robbers are in it.. There are heroes and cowards in it.. Civilization is built and destroyed in it.. Kings, slaves, mothers, fathers, teachers, travelers, young couples in love, children full of hope, corrupt politicians, superstars, dictators, saints, sinners, all are within that tiny dot that can be seen..

Our earth is a very small dot in the universe.. But imagine that even at this moment, a group of people living in one corner of that dot is being invaded by a group living in another corner.. Even though it is impossible to mark that boundary within this tiny dot, how great is the anger and rage in the hearts of those two? How much do they want to kill each other? How much blood will be shed for that? Can't you share that dot that is barely visible to the eye?

So friends, this is what I am finally trying to say, that is, we are not as big or advanced as you and I think we are.. I will ask only one thing from you who are inside this dot.. Go as high as you can go.. But don't be so stupid as to pull someone else down for that.. Because there are many more things above us that we don't know.. Remember that.!
