22 years ago this month, Voyager 1, about 4 billion miles away, turned around and took its last photo of Earth. Carl Sagan wrote this about that photo, putting everything in perspective.

      @Yangzong-Guo-900I'm not sure which song it is, but by the sound of it I'm pretty sure it's composed by the Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi.

      @Jason-Royal-465Reagan was a puppet for corporate corruption! I could give you many ways to prove it but for one, just look at the rate of spending once he came into office. And yet he was the one to clam that spending was out of control. He started it!

      @Jason-Royal-465Gorbachev is on the screen at the same time. If it makes you feel better, just tell yourself that's who they're referencing. Also, Carl didn't compile this. He's been dead since 1996.

      @Jason-Royal-465To straighten things out- the video to Carl's speech was not a video made by him, it was cropped it. And for that to be your response after watching a truly amazing video like that just goes to show how many screwed up our planet is. Better luck next time, moron.

      @Jason-Royal-465Dude, Sagan died in '96 and this video was obviously made after that. What a noob you are...

    Sagan is a poet. I love Cosmos, I listened to his Audio book of Pale Blue Dot. The man is one of the finest ambassadors of the scientific and academic world in modern times.

    I stopped when he said "Every corrupt politician" and it showed Ronald Reagan. Go fuck yourself BREAK.

      @Redtail21You really watched that video, or at least a part of it, and your comment if "They implied that Regan was corrupt?! FUCK YOU BREAK."? I think you should have watched it all, or perhaps the message was lost on you.

      @buddy_richIf this video proves anything, it proves that God is bigger and more powerful than any mere human being could believe. Only someone as amazing as He is could have possibly form our amazing universe with all the creativity and thought that he put into it. I can't understand the thought of our universe just being a mere accident without any planning behind it at all.

    It is indeed fascinating when people assign significance based simply on relative size, quantity, and distance. It is the belief system of the mathematician and the astronomer. Perhaps someone can explain in plain words how, if a universe like ours were completely void of life - where no awareness existed, there would be any significance to this collection of gasses and matter whatsoever.

      @Spiker123I think I understand at what you are trying to get at. I like to think that energy... or God.... whatever you want to call it.... has created a consciousness so that it can be respected. I also believe that the next stage of evolution will be some sort of collective consciousness where things will be less implied and more understood, if that makes sense. We can see his happening with the internet. People want to be connected. They are searching for something (not just porn ;) ) and if we all come toget

    To those that are wondering...when the video mentions corrupt politicians, they are referring to James Watt, the Secretary of Interior under Reagan and the guy with glasses in that frame.
