The Pale Blue Dot

I imagine most of you have heard of Carl Sagan's The Pale Blue Dot, but if you haven't I'd highly recommend watching this quick video. It's great for acquiring more of a cosmic perspective. When the universe is shown on this scale, it is easy to see how insignificant a role the earth and our lives play in the grand scheme of everything. However, it also makes these things much, much, much more significant as well because you can appreciate how valuable and rare they truly are. I highly recommend Sagan's book if this is your type of thing.
