- 30 years ago, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft took an image of our home planet from 6.4 billion kilometers away. Our co-founder Carl Sagan eloquently described what that image meant for humanity.

With the mission to empower the world's citizens to advance space science and exploration, its international membership makes the non-governmental Planetary Society the largest space interest group in the world. Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman founded the Planetary Society in 1980. Bill Nye, a longtime member of The Planetary Society's Board, serves as CEO."
Best photograph ever taken, tied only with the Hubble Deep Field. Where science and art and philosophy collide.
This is the most beautiful comment I've read in a long time.
@@mightychondriaofthecell3317 Agreed. Beautiful words!
The deep field blows my mind. Pale blue dot and his speech make me cry.
I’d say the black marble is slightly more beautiful than the Hubble deep field photo, but that’s a whole set of photos
Wow!
If only more humans were immersed in the knowledge of our own insignificance, might we work together to be more significant.
Class~ we are created by God for significance. Life is precious as is our planet and the slim circumstances that make life possible.
Is that quote accreditable to someone or is that a small slice of your own genius?
@@grahamjay666 why do you have to make things religious all the time?
@@wubbalubbadubdub64 Mainly fear lol. Because they can't deal with the notion that the universe doesn't revolve around us nor was created for us.
Perfectly said, But we so distracted by our own intelligence we forget the bigger picture😮💨🌍🤯
I miss him terribly. Mr. Sagan, you will always hail in my life as the greatest Astronomer /Physicist to have ever lived. I am honored that you were here in my life time. Every time I hear "The Pale Blue Dot", I am brought to tears, because I have a comprehension of how important and special our little blue dot is. I so wish everyone could have such a realization. If so, then Humanity would finally breach the final hurtle of becoming ... human. Next to the Universe its self, you stood as my inspiration. May you be enjoying your afterlife, and enjoying the universe in unparalleled splendor.
Carl Sagan is one of my heroes. He speaks for Earth. If extraterrestrials were to encounter humans I would want Carl to speak for us.
They already have Anthony. They're just not telling us. I have had ufo encounters and my friends have had encounters with the Tall Ones and the Greys. The Vatican knows all about them and of course the Elite Military who inform some of the government officials including some Presidents.
Thankfully Sir David Attenborough is still going.
@@royw-g3120 Kyle Hill is an up n comer with similar traits and he looks like he's only in his 20's...let's hope his work gains traction, for the benefit of all.
@@carlsaganlives5112He's in his mid30's iirc
Do you think that aliens would show up to speak to important political and scientific figures? 😃 They’re not stupid.
Carl Sagan is one of my favourite person ever. The main reason is not that he was a brilliant scientist, or writer or communicator etc. But that you can feel and see, he has all the best intentions. He has love for humankind, and kindly helping everyone the ways he was able to. This is sadly super rare.
How do you KNOW that's rare... my friend how co you think humans got this far? They helped, hoped and held each other. Stop making things up.
@@cliffdariff74 We all are only guessing :) But I am not saying you stop saying anything...
Hear, hear!! He should be on Mt. Rushmore - or better, have his own - but he would be vehemently opposed on so many levels. An unparalleled sage, humanitarian, brilliant scientist, author, provoker of thought, uncommonly succinct orator, general all-around great guy...
What an amazing human he was. One of the greats.
Definitely not.
@@mathyre232 Speak for yourself.
I miss this incredible man everyday and will do for the rest of my life
Happy birthday, Carl Sagan. That pale blue dot was immeasurably enriched by your life and works. Your memory continues to be a blessing.
Such a beautiful and humbling view of where we are in the universe
I can't tell if this is a typo...
@@ab-dc4id It was.
Carl Sagan was one of my heroes. The world is a little darker without him in it.
He’s been one of mine since I first saw, as a 15yo boy in 1980 an astonishing TV show called….Cosmos.
Carl Sagan died before his time, I'd loved to have met him when he was alive. I remember as a boy (I was about eight) when I first watched "Cosmos" and that TV series blew me away.
One of the all time great pictures. A photo of almost nothing, and at the same time everything.
There have been many beautiful words written throughout the ages. Some by famous people, some by simple folk. But Mr. Sagan's encapsulation of both the obvious insignificance of our species, the futility, and yes, even the hope, are without equal in the pantheon of thought.
Happy birthday, Dr Sagan. I wish you were still with us.
So well spoken. A true gentleman of our cosmos. R.I.P. Carl.
Thanks Carl for the most wonderful and introspective photo ever taken in the entire history of space exploration...
Excuse you, but it's Dr. Carl Sagan. What makes you think you can call a renown astronomer simply by his first name?
Should put that on a flag for every school in the country
Unforgettable iconic and very moving image of our planet. Thanks to visionary Carl Sagan.
Such a beautiful image, revealed by such a beautiful mind. I miss Sagan. :(
The most beautiful photograph ever taken, and the most beautiful speech ever given in human history.
RIP Carl Sagan, you were a brilliantly illuminating human being and teacher. May we someday learn and live in peace with nature and with each other at last.
If anyone ever fails a test in school, argues about politics, complains about inflation, or gets offended by something someone else said, show them this video.
Carl Sagan was wonderful! Gone But Never Forgotten!!! ♥ 🌹
This teaching of "our" world needs to be mandatory for every human being. Imagine if we actually respected our planet and others.
I miss him so much and the sound of his voice 😢😢😢😢
Watch TH-cam, you will not miss him
I would love to see the fotage of the whole press conference.
In your similar video of two years ago we can see a bit more.
Carl Sagan, what an inspiration.
th-cam.com/video/ZQCTgCF8Khk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=perhaps
The fact that we are so rare in our universe and yet everyday the only thing you hear over and over again is war and death in our tiny dot is just so heartbreaking😢💔
“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
It was an utter tragedy for the USA that he died so young. We have been so fortunate in the UK to have sir David Attenborough and other broadcasters educating people.
Brave! So nostalgic. 🥺
Wonderful to see the great man present this image himself.
I love Carl Sagan work.
Carl Sagan was greatest Astrounoumer...in the world really Amazing work..❤
I discovered Carl only recently during the pandemic, Wow a treasure trove of information, some of which has been since factually corrected as tech and space probes improved over the years. I'm sure that's what carl intended too. The narration quality and his voice in cosmos has a kind of spiritual experience on the listener. : )
'Cosmos' is an amazing book along with his others.
A true astronomer poet, whether intentional or not. His passion and eloquence should make us all strive to be the best we can be.
The original cosmos series is phenomenal
I've known about him since I was a kid. I watched his Cosmos series many times.
Karl’s wisdom will live on forever
I miss the feeling of wonder this man made me feel as a child.
Thanks for posting.
Carl Sagan is my hero
I recently obtained a copy of 'Cosmos' by Dr. Sagan and have been enjoying every single page.
Watch the series too. It is a classic in science.
Only the earth rise over the surface of the moon, comes close.
Hail the Pale Blue Dot!
amazing how a low-res image (taken with the technical at the time) speaks so much volume and still resonates today.
"It's a very small stage in a great cosmic arena"
Breaks my heart that all humans want to do is WAR with each other over petty reasons while still oblivious to the great words of a man like carl's Sagan.....
Stop. Please. Nonsense.
one photo that shows how great we are and at the same time how insignificant
A very profound presentation. RIP Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan was a truly remarkable mind who the world greatly benefited from knowing, but sadly misses in his absence. For those wondering about the song its by : Beneath the Mountain - Hammer and Felt . May you get the same happiness and joy from this song I do 🙏 God Bless
Carl had an ability to make the average person understand complex scientific things and teach them why it was important in our lives to know these things. A Great Man. An American legend. I miss his voice in our world today….. 🍻😎
RIP legend. Carl Sagan
If I was omnipotent I would go back and grab Carl Sagan and bring him to modern day Nasa or Space X or a museum to show him just how far we've come.
He never got to see the finished film Contact. When my mom watched it here at home, she felt Dr. Sagan standing behind her, smiling. She wrote this to his wife. If anybody can travel through space and time, I am sure he can.
Mr segan ..a wise man ❤❤❤
The Grace of our God is amazing
I come back to this video every single day. He was such a great man. And this video makes me so grateful to be alive. It "underscores" the mystery and pure beauty of the cosmos Carl wanted us all to see. I think ive found my favorite video of all time
Where can I find the full video? I would love to see it!
hey, does someone know the song from the background?
I'm trying to find out too!
I wished he was still around, as 2025 will be the year we will have our last contact with the Voyager-1, he should have been here for it's final farewell
GOD BLESS U U DEMONSTRATE HOW SHORT OUR LIFE IS AND WE SHOULD LIVE IN HARMANY AND PEACE AND LOVE OBE ANOTHER NOT HATE ONE ANOTHER
I fully understand.. and I also understand there are others out there..
Wonderful and mesmerising man
Tragedy for the US he died so young, a strong and poetic voice of reason who could have inspired another generation of thinkers.
No we just don't have others like him
Hail Sagan!
This insignificance is relieving though
If all politicians spoke like this, the world would be a better place
That's not what their contributors are asking for....
I have the picture hanging in my home...you would be surprised how many people didn't know what it was about...
Chokes me up every time
What an amazing man.
This guy is a LEGEND ❤
Why do these videos always have to have overly loud music. Why drowned out the words of such a knowledgeable and famous scientist?
Thznk you Mr. Sagan
Oh, so that's why the song is called that, thanks youtube
CARL SAGAN. he has my vote for one of the greatest human beings of our planet.
I love Carl Sagan 🎈
Like Carl Sagan said….Let us preserve and cherish the only home we have! Let’s not take Earth for granted, for it is so precious, that it can be gone in a blink of an eye…May there be peace and may humankind protect all the natural resources that the Earth provides!
I luv earth
But the *real* question is.... how can we consume that blue dot to maximize short-term shareholder profit for the fantastically wealthy?
What is this woke sjw antifa nonsense? Next you'll be saying we should be funding Healthcare and preserving rights for people instead of blowing up children.
Yes it is 🌎
UNSTOPPABLE
What music is this? So good!
Epic
Shame someone drowned out his speech with overly loud music.
Some say that carl sagan will one day return and teach us how to save the earth.
Dotty Blue. 🔵
Beautiful!
Who gave this video a thumbs down?!?
Sagan, kau kan selalu diingat
I'm not crying
Nor am I..........
Makasih
We are just one out of many planets that exist out in the vast cosmic sea of space. There could be other planets out there that could have life.
Correct!
Profound.....
Amazing
no music.... please
Background music ?
❤From 🇱🇰
Anyone know if there's the press conference video on here without the mushy music? the music is too loud, its annoying. I just want the guy giving the press conference without the jazz man
My role model.
Love.
We got humbled, where are we bro
Don't misunderstand me, I get the point Sagan makes.
However, the comparative small size of the pale blue dot is part of the problem. People with ego and power can have dominion over large swathes of it. Others can influence a large proportion of minds. Those seeking to impose their influence invariably tread upon others to achieve it. There is no escape.
Proof that we must follow our scientific breakthroughs with any and all art that can be made from it. Lest our wisdom fall behind.
Is it normal to cry watching this ? 😂😂😂
I Googled "the pale blue dot" and at first i couldn't find it because the milkyway was linear to the crack on my screen🤔
