The Pale Blue Dot / The Cosmic Perspective

Unread post

We are all familiar with the photo of Earth taken from the vicinity of Neptune on 2/14/1990 and The Cosmic Perspective that Carl Sagan developed from that in his book The Pale Blue Dot. A few weeks ago Dr. Kamran Rashid Khan, also known as rapper Lazarus, made history by streaming the live debut of his work "Pale Blue Dot" from the International Space Station. It appears at minutes 7:00 to 11:00 in the following video.



Here are some other examples of Sagan's Cosmic Perspective.
