pale blue dot - our home

"...our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light... it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

Overview Effect

"Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has compared the experience of seeing the earth from space, also known as the overview effect, to savikalpa samadhi.

I'd been thinking on similar lines recently, on different atmospheres with early life, but I was considering anoxogenic bacteria whose byproduct is sulfur instead of molecular oxygen. ¿Had life evolved on Venus could its sulfuric clouds be the signature byproduct of such life with no branches ever evolving to produce the equivalent of Earth's Great…

Exactly 100 years ago tomorrow, the subject on whether this Universe is larger than the Milky Way Galaxy was brought up publicly at an event sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, known as The Great Debate.
