- 30 years ago, on 14th February 1990, Voyager 1 captured an iconic image of the Earth - known as the "Pale Blue Dot". This photo was taken from a staggering 6 billion kilometers away - at the edge of the outer Solar System. Taken at the request of legendary astronomer Professor Carl Sagan, Sagan waxed poetically about the image a speech often referred to as the "Pale Blue Dot". To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this truly unique image, NASA and JPL-Caltech reprocessed the original image using modern processing techniques. In honor of the Voyager 1 team and the late Carl Sagan, we put together this short tribute video celebrating the Pale Blue Dot, with a reading of Sagan's wonderful prose by Professor David Kipping.

Bonus video! A little video to celebrate this iconic image. Go ahead and grab that hires version linked in the description, I know I'll be printing this off to hang on my wall!
Also - if anyone knows of additional readings of this passage (aside from those linked in the description) let me know and I'll add it to the list - even your own!
@@CoolWorldsLab we'll have something special dropping tomorrow... ;)
can’t wait!
This poem makes me weepy every time I hear it read. This was no different. Sadly, I've grown too pessimistic to have any faith in humanity surviving, and I have too little energy left to continue the fight.
feels like there's a fund raiser up, and coming..
This image might be the greatest image ever taken. It simultaneously emits emotions of fear, curiosity, existentialism, nihilism, and awe *all* at the same time!
Yes! 👌🏻
Yes it is as of yet,... :-) Stay positive. We, as a species have a great and awesome future. There are no limits as long as we keep trying and don't give in to the negativity.
@Doctor ShoesWell put!
@D you're basically saying that all that believe in religion act like that psycho that mocked folks who believe in evolution...and somehow since you aren't adhered to an ancient "backwards dogma" are somehow enlightened...how unnillistic of you
"This photo was taken from a staggering 6 billion kilometers away - at the edge of the outer Solar System."
Common misconception. Voyager 1 has not left the solar system. In 2004 it reached the area of termination shock, where the pressure from the solar wind starts to be less than interstellar wind.
There is no clear definition of the end of our solar system. Depending on how you define the end, Voyager 1 will leave the solar system in 15,000 - 30,000 years from now after crossing the Oort Cloud. Sedna, which is a dwarf planet in our solar system orbits at 12.8 billion km twice the distance of where Voyager is now.
Elvis has not left the building yet.
"Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." This is one of the most important quotes i've ever seen
It truly is. I’m always ripped for thinking this, but human history is actually quite embarrassing.
@@JustinLHopkins 100% agree
Carl really made the point with as few words and as powerful as it gets. It sent chill down my spine listening
I keep this picture as my phone wallpaper, whenever I feel some stress IDK why this just takes the stress away
Because it makes you realize how small we are and how irrelevant our problems are compared to the vast universe
Dead pixel lol
@Danny Brook What a great idea! I've done this as well today on my phone
Because it highlights the insignificance of our lives in the greater picture
We are just an *atom* in the universe.
Great video!
We're made up of quadrillions of those
A planck length in the grand cosmological scale
What an idiotic video. As though mere scale can subsume and trivialise the human non-material spirit and it's adventures. badly done.
Even more small
More like an electron orbiting the nucleus of our atom.
Carl's great words have only gained -- greatly -- in relevance and urgency, especially this sentence:
"To me, 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."
You said it.
Rob Stuart Amen!
@@plsnvlogs Thanks, brother
@@jaycorby Thanks, brother
Thank you for reminding me about this simple piece of truth.
Carl is sorely missed.
I have a lump in my throat and it hurts, this really tugs on my heart strings for all things, not just human. Thank You. I'll remember for the rest of my days.
If only everyone on this planet came to this realization. Maybe it would change the nature of humankind. Even just for one generation
Unfortunately the elitist wouldn't allow for something that good
Absolutely one of the most humbling and thought provoking speeches ever made. I wonder if Sagan knew this speech would still have an effect on people decades and maybe centuries later? Great job cool worlds. Keep up the good work.
This is my "prayer" that I keep on my wall.
I want to thumb this up because i fully understand and share the sentiment, but i can already hear the theists... .
See! All your science is just a different religion.
@@patrickmalone1373 Science is our religion.
it gives us a sense of meaning in a meaningless Universe.
but it is a religion based on hypothesis> experimentation>repetition>peer review> Theory. And any scientific theory is open to change and alteration as better information is discovered.
It is a religion based on our evolving understanding of the Universe that we are but a tiny insignificant part ...... I for one am OK with that.
@@user-earthandfire i understand that sentiment and science and the progress of mankind to the stars gives me the hope and feeling of community that i imagine the theist gets from religion.
But to the average person and society in general the core tenet of religion is faith. Science, and indeed knowledge reject fsith entirely in favor of questioning everything.
One gives you truth and unity, the other gives you dogma and division.
@@patrickmalone1373
"the progress of mankind to the stars gives me the hope and feeling "
That sounds like faith to me.
I have faith that science can pull us through the great filters and allow us to fill the galaxy with life.
be well.
@@lizemarlenedelange4883 I have come to terms with my insignificance and I am quite happy in my "dark desolate corner" while I try to contemplate a vast magical realty that will always be beyond the ken of humanity. thanks for the well wishes, I hope that you are well and happy in your little corner as well.
take care
One of the best pieces of poetry ever written.
he took it, I've heard those lines before when somebody else was talking about it.
Raven5787656 it’s a quote by carl sagan
@@thpafe3669 Ah, so everybody I've heard it from just got it from him, my bad lmao.
Carl Sagan reading it: ua-cam.com/video/wupToqz1e2g/v-deo.html
It is the most humbling picture ever taken. We are but a pixel in our own solar system. Our galaxy it but pixel in the observable universe.
I became interested in astronomy because of Carl Sagan. He was taken too soon and no one has taken the torch since. His legacy left behind is irreplaceable.
Poetry out of this world. Carl Sagan 1934-1996.
God bless you Voyager this photo was taken in 1998 its a reminder of how small we really are....
Clearly, one of the most brilliant minds of our era. I have idolized Carl Sagan since I was a child, and this is an epic thought - one of so many generated by a dot.
Carl Sagans beautiful words retold beautifully....
No matter how much I look forward to the possibilities of seeing other worlds, this beautiful ode to our home never fails to make me shed a tear - what a wonderful tribute to Voyager 1 and Carl Sagan you've made here
The first time I watched this, My life changed, I stopped caring about many things, this is so humbling.
the Voyager next to Sagan is because it was he who asked NASA for that one picture we call the pale blue dot.
Thank you very much for making this video for all of us, it has made me very happy to have watched it.
This was great, Carl Sagan would be proud.
I can remember being at my grandparents when I first saw the pale blue dot image on the news.
Then i heard Sagan speak.
that moment has been part of me ever since.
Think I’ll watch this every couple of weeks from now on for calibration purposes
He absolutely nailed it... no truer words ever spoken to describe our collective existence.
Bravo Dr David! You did Sagan's words real justice! This most insightful, damning yet, emotionally inspiring speech of modern times perfectly encapsulate the essence of all humanity and where were heading. A pertinent message who's urgency has only grown with time.
That was... moving, chilling, humbling, sad, wondrous, profound, insightful, reflective...just as The Pale Blue Dot, both the photo and Sagan's speech encompasses all of life of all of mankind, this telling of it encompasses all of the emotions of all of mankind.
Thank you for recreating a beautiful moment in even more humbling detail!
That might actually be one of the deepest short voice clips I have ever heard, yah know ... with what is going on in today's society
Cool Worlds not only bring interesting and valuable information. Cool Worlds produces beautiful videos.
Thanks David. You will have introduced young people to Carl no doubt and helped to keep him in our minds, he is still in our hearts. Today I cried. Thank you.
That was the hope! I know many here will already know him of course but I’m often surprised how many young and non-US astro fans don’t know about the great man.
"The *delusion* we have some 'privileged' position in the universe". Very beautifully said.
Everytime i read or hear someone reading these lines i'm thorn between anxiety and a strange form of inspiration.
Every leader, be it governmental, military or the leader of a company, should hear these lines every morning before they start working and every night before they go to sleep, until they truely understand their meaning.
GOD BLESS CARL SAGAN MAN OF MANY TRUTHS
Well done, and well said.
Yo didn't expect to see you here
Happy 30th anniversary Pale Blue Dot ! :)
I can only imagine how much more amazing our science would be if we stopped killing each other and ended poverty. We all deserve the chance to thrive and achieve a greater knowledge of our amazing universe. This channel is amazing and I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you put into your content. I'm glad I found your channel and look forward to learning more about the universe
crying like a baby and i can't even put my finger on it why exactly... great video about the single most greatest speech of all time!
rubycelica lol
Many say this image makes them feel "insignificant", it should actually make us feel special and significant. We need this perspective, a picture worth countless words...💫
I really enjoy these videos, thank you for them and for your contributions to science.
Mind blown! The ultimate picture of perspective!!
So beautiful. Every word is pure gold.
Magnificent , humbling and so very lonely.
3:44 "1934-1996" wait, Carl Sagan lived only 62 years??! Man that's sad. I believe he would have contributed even more, if he lived longer. :'(
He was taken too soon
@@CoolWorldsLab He was taken too soon to be fair, but not so soon that his mark wasn't made on humanity. As someone who grew up thinking she was stupid, Carl Sagan's ability to make knowledge exciting and accessible helped me learn I wasn't. I know I am not even close to alone in this.
Jon Smith He'll be back.
I want this picture on my living room wall after watching this.
Speech really affects us all!
David, great video!
Very excellent! May Carl R.I.P. and the image and caption he authored, someday unite our species...
In particular, thank you for the link to the reprocessed version of the Pale Blue Dot photo.
Thank you also for observing the 30th anniversary, in a way that I, who live on the other side of the world, could hear about it.
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
Carl Sagan
Every Word from Carl Sagan..made me ghoosebump
That almost made me cry. Damn.
Wow!!
Nothing could replace Carl's voice and his narration and his words! But this was very good, bro! Keep up the good work with your channel. Love your videos. I wish to meet you somebody when I come to the UK, hopefully soon. Love from Pakistan.
By far the most perfect narration of The Pale Blue Dot
...And someday a father will point out that pale blue dot out to his son from the deck of a Starliner bound for the outer colonies. The boy will look back at the father's wonderment and say...Yeah whatever, can I go play now?
Sadly, humanity won't survive long enough to get to that point.
@@charlescole1766 The way the world is right now, we would have annihilated ourselves already..
How does this video have dislikes?? Awesome commentary. I keep coming back to this vid so I can be put in my place. “The folly of human conceits...”
If you are having any problems in your life, just watch and listen to this, it will make them disappear.
This video makes me happy whenever I'm sad..
Beautiful, thought provoking and humbling prose. thank you Carl.
After binging a few episodes, I just had to make another comment to express the gratitude I feel towards this channel.
There are so many space-related channels out there, but NONE of the other(which I've found) channels can't even be remotely compared to Coolworlds. The quality, the wording and the frontier concepts which are backed by legit research is nothing less than awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping.
Professor Kipping, besides being highly intelligent just like many of the greates through out history, also has the capability to express the complex concepts in a way that makes it understandable for us who haven't spent our lives in research/academia. I'm sure he will be remembered in the future as a Great Astronomer just for the Halo Drive, among other things, i'm certain.
This is history in the making, guys. We are alive to witness this right now.
Side note:
I showed my wife the video "A journey to the end of the universe" both of us were stunned. She too, even though she has no particular interest of Astronomy, she still got amazed while Prof. K went on explaining. That's toptier, right there. Converting the uninterested is no easy feat, especially not in this day and age.
If you guys happen to read this, I salute you and your crew. Huzzah! Long live Coolworlds lab.
(Ignore the grammatical errors and such, english is my second language.)
Thanks and best of luck to anyone who took the time to read this.
A wonderful perspective and evaluation. This speech should be recited at all major and not so major events, what it states is more important than anything else, in the long run.
Think of the microscopic fraction of people on that pale blue dot that have heard these words, or would take them seriously.
This gives goosebumps...
This is what you get:
Two artistic scientists.
C.S & D.K
DK? Who might that be?
Truly one of the greatest, most important speeches ever written...
I made this into a painting in my little village in Obowo, Imo state, Nigeria, people ask me what it means and when I explain how long it took take the shot(voyager 1.. 1977....1991..still counting) and the distance(6B miles) , they feel humbled and begin to reflect, they realise its a powerful photo and we are powerless.
Wow, brilliant. Thanks.
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
Best speech in the history of speeches.
You are the Sagan of our generation. Thank you.
Beautiful
The greatest picture taken in history, period, end of story.
This video was beyond amazing it’s really is something else
This is the most touching video I have seen, possibly ever. 😢
Awesome! Couldn't have had a better presentation of the modern pale blue dot.
Thank you
The words of Jonie Mitchell's song Woodstock echo Carl Sagan when she says we are stardust, we are golden.
Short but sweet. Thanks CW.
I do want to point something out. It’s not a criticism of this line of thought, but a consideration worth pondering.
What is the effect of perspective building exercises such as this, in the face of the reality we run straight into every day? The reality of personal tragedies, illnesses, unemployment, and depression. All of these are deeply personal and require the polar opposite framing to what we see here.
If we all agree that information misaligned with your world view causes immediate subconscious rejection, then is it possible we can agree this framing is equally counterproductive to broad swathes of the population. When your personal experience is the one you have to live with, then why would anyone care to hear about how insignificant those experiences are? It’s yours. Its all you have and it’s all you’ll ever know.
Heh... smiled when I watched this video. In "Why we might be alone in the universe". Your closing speech reminded me so much of Carl.
It's truly our home in a sea of endless stars .
HELP WHY AM I GETTING EMOTIONAL OVER THIS DBJASDHGWA
"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens".
Every dank meme that ever existed was created there, on a mote of dust, suspended in a sun beam.
Probably the most iconic pic of it’s kind,doubt it will be replicated any time soon..
Look at this photo every night before sleep, you will forget all your worries of life
A mote of dust in a sunbeam and a human life even less. If only the folly of mankind could 'Wake-Up to The Reality.' Thank you CS.
I have been searching how to go back in time from last 2 years sometimes i get some hope but sometimes i get nothing but become depressed it's very hard to live with your past and see other having good life with no regrets but still our mind is our biggest enemy my mind is still saying to do it myself it's saying you have to make a way to go in past life but always i got depressed,disappointment nothing good show me a way
carl sagan inspires me
Carl Sagan inspires you? He is totally wrong when he says there is no one to save us or that we are insignificant in a vast universe. The universe is essential for our existence on planet earth. Change or remove one atom and we would not exist. That's how special we are in God's creation. And Jesus is our help. Not Carl Sagan. Read the bible, it's the only truth on our special planet. It's time to repent. Jesus is coming back very soon. All bible prophecies come to pass EXACTLY AS PROPHESIED. WAKE-UP. EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN THE WORD RIGHT NOW IS PROPHESIED TO HAPPEN IN THE END TIME WHICH IS NOW.READ THE BIBLE. MARANATHA.
@@gerardmoloney9979 oh God
Whenever I'm having a hard time or a rough day, I find this video and just remind myself to keep pushing foward🤙💯
Greatest speech ever.
That was amazing!
Everyone in the world needs to watch this video 🙏🏼
Beautiful words of wisdom Prof. It should also be mentioned that the physical enormity of the universe, does not compare to life intellect mind heart soul..
By the way I call it 'The blue pearl of the milky way galaxy'
A great and inspirational quotation from a brilliant man. But I disagree with him about our creating settlements beyond Earth: we could be doing that really soon, certainly within the next thousand years, and probably within the next 500. Provided of course that Mother Earth continues to prosper in the meantime. Thanks for posting this.
SUch beautiful words to live by.
Breathtaking! Thank you!
Hey amazing amazing amazing another masterpiece after that could we be alone video ,...... Every night before sleeping I see your video , and we want more like that . Stay blessed
The most important photo ever taken
Love these videos and the way they get your brain thinking 🙌🏻
