Earth in the Vastness of Space

Mommy often wrote about the Moon and other issues relating to astronomy in this blog, when it was her blog. This made me interested in the issues.

It is almost thirty years since the space probe Voyager 1 took its famous picture called ”Pale Blue Dot” of Earth from the outskirts of the Solar system. It makes you contemplate over how small our planet is, and how big the universe is, even though Voyager 1 was not at all far away compared to the whole universe.

It is amazing how great life can feel, when it is all located on that pale blue dot.
