The little blue dot in the lower right corner is the earth, as seen from Saturn. Amazing pic. And excellent cover. Oh! I've just noticed the same info is in the description. So this goes for people who do not read it.
@@LocutusBorgOf Yup! I posted the comment and AFTER I read the description... as usual. So I edited it. We had a common saying in my job: when nothing else works, read the manual (about mainframe computer systems...) There's another picture that shows even the moon near the earth. Amazing! We are really insignificant before the universe, isn't it? Regards from Brazil.
@@vadinhopsc Actually the whole point of me using the picture was that we are nor insignificant next to the universe, I wholeheartedly disagree with that view. My view in regards to this image is, as I said, is that this is the only depiction of something that can actually be considered a star of hope. I don't take the view that the sheer vastness of the universe somehow makes us insignificant, after all, as that one Greek philosopher said, "Man is the measure of all things". We are the only being we know of that can be aware of the vastness of the universe, how can that make us insignificant?
@@LocutusBorgOf Well, it is a way of seeing things, and I surely respect that. However, at least mathematically, we are almost nothing. Living beings in a small planet, around a small star, in a small galaxie, running at vertiginous speed to collide with Andromeda in some 2 billion years. For comparison, the Milky Way probably has some 200 billion stars while IC1101 galaxie has more than 5 trillion. And the fact that we are the "only" beings aware of the universe lacks one word: "yet". I mean, by probabilities life cannot be an exclusive feature of our earth. But perhaps we will never know for sure. I'd like to think that we are unique and special, but I can't. But this way of thinking does not refrain me to stare the stars in awe, marveling at the magnificence of the Universe. And Alma has been so poetic in her compositions, using the image of a star that brings hope. Mind you, at this moment I've watched the full "Cinderella" some 50 times, plus all other videos and CDs by her. She is really remarkable. Regards.
I don't usually comment on covers but this is really amazing performance of Alma's song .. are you related with music ? i mean did you have a music lessons or are you teaching music ? because i feel like your skills are amazing ..( i'm not a musician at all but i'm quite interested to classic music in general..)

That's exactly why I used the image, as you can read in the description 😊

I've been singing opera professionally both in choirs and minor soloist roles since june of 2017, so I like to think I have background in music
Too bad my microphone doesn't do my voice justice
Great!
