Pale Blue Dot

Dedicated to Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.

In 1990, Carl Sagan presented to the world the most distant image yet taken of ourselves, from 4 billion miles. The image was of a pale blue dot, suspended in a sun beam.

The book Pale Blue Dot was published by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan in 1994. That was also when I first met Sagan, while I was a student in the College of Engineering at Cornell University.

This film was a finalist at the Portobello Film Festival in London 2007, and at the Concorto Film Festival in Italy 2007. Compare it to the original, the classic, Sagan himself reading from Pale Blue Dot:
