Mirroring our #PaleBlueDot, the view of a remote set of pixels moving around their star.

A few seconds of animation took years of observations (2003 to 2020):

Trying to imagine our #PaleBlueDot seen much further than from #Voyager, near its "dot" star... Seemingly still, "Eppur si move" as #Galileo was once quoted

Trying to imagine our Pale Blue Dot from a comparable distance, near a brighter bunch of dots... Seemingly still, "Eppur si move" as #Galileo was quoted

So, so wichtig: "That's here. That's home. That's us." https://youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g from the Book of Carl. #carlsagan #palebluedot

#PaleBlueDot is a photo of #Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot

Enfin, une nouvelle réjouissante, une 🤩

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." Carl Sagan.

Congrats Dr Lystrup.

New NASA Official Took Her Oath of Office on Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ - Dr. Makenzie Lystrup chose the iconic book, which was inspired by a 1990 photograph of Earth from space.

So happy I found this! 💙🖤💜💛💚
Almost the complete lecture in decent quality. So many great ideas. Inspiring to be aspiring, to be decent and supportive, grateful and humble, critical and constructive, and always look beyond the obvious. Thanks Carl! 🙏

@mondinspace Probably the most deeply profound passage of text ever written, accompanying the most amazing photograph ever taken. #PaleBlueDot

Happy pale blue dot day. #palebluedot #palebluedotanniversary #carlsagan

This is us. We are insignificant. Never forget that. 🌍 #PaleBlueDot #Voyager1

Happy Pale Blue Dot Day! 🔵

Today in 1990, Voyager 1 turned around the took a photo of Earth.

I appreciate that Germany is dealing with an exceptional energy transition from Russian Gas, and that burning Lignite at all is criminal, and that the Lützerath battle is a crucial campaign in the war to save us from global warming. But...

At least those lines are going down, and the number are in Mt.

This is how much coal China extracts:

2020 3.902 Gt
2021 4.126 Gt (4.07 Gt also reported)
2022 4.4 Gt (est. based on 8m)

Enormous, more than RoW, and rising.

I don't know what actions other states could take to compensate for that increase and reduce global emissions to achieve 1.5C by 2100, or 2C for that matter.

Selección de imágenes lejanas de nuestro planeta 🧵

La imagen más icónica de nuestro planeta visto en la distancia es por supuesto la tomada el 14 de febrero 1990 por la #Voyager 1 a 6 mil millones de km. Conocida como #PaleBlueDot , fue popularizada por Carl Sagan.

@weaniejeanie53 Think, all human beings living and dead are within this frame 🤔
#Earthrise #PaleBlueDot

The first #APOD of this year 2023 is a very special #picture of the #Earth taken by the #Voyager1 #spacecraft and known as the #PaleBlueDot (by Carl #Sagan). It shows that #humankind’s cradle is just a point in #space. There are currently 8B people living on this little blue dot, and they have no way to escape as the #climatechange.
