    This is our home

    Earth from 4 billion miles

    this video puts it all in perspective

    an answer to our problems, how we can solve them.

    Gives anyone who watches this something to think about.

    some of the comments are great.

    That was pretty cool. To think we're a tiny little planet among an endless galaxy is amazing. It really makes you think about life. I spent most of yesterday afternoon into the early evening at the Planitarium in the University here. Here's a Nasa website for the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan which was what they were covering yesterday. I just thought it was very cool in case anyone wanted to check it out:

    Yes it does put things in perspective, we need to always "question authority", if we don't we are doomed.

    Like frankie says, if we value our beautiful world, we can't allow a privileged few to control it to our peril.

    LET'S WAKE UP PEOPLE!

    Thanks for this purps!

    Thanks, Purps, that was way cool and DEFINITELY puts things into perspective. I have a friend who is in Angola right now, which is her part of her heritage, and the things she is seeing and experiencing there are ATROCIOUS. It makes my little baby problems so minute in comparison. This video was a good reminder too. THANK YOU. I hope you are well, Purps!!!

    If the earth was made by God for man why did he make the rest of the universe?

    Thanks for posting this Purplesofa! I was looking at this exact same video yesterday. Carl Sagan is my absolute hero!
