This shows the first image of Earth captured from the outer solar system taken by NASA's Voyager 1 in 1990, titled 'Pale Blue Dot'

When Voyager took this photo from hundreds of millions of miles away from Earth, Carl Sagan famously said,
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

A tiny spot: Planet Earth can been seen as just a miniscule star from this enhanced shot of Saturn taken by the NASA spacecraft Cassini nearly 900million miles away

Say cheese! Thousands of people posed for Cassini's pictures - though the gesture was obviously just symbolic

This fascinating video compares the sizes of different stars. Compared to some other monstrous stars, our sun looks nothing more than a speck of dust

EarthRise, 1968 The Last Whole Earth Catalog described this image as: “The famous Apollo 8 picture of Earthrise over the moon that established our planetary facthood and beauty and rareness (dry moon, barren space) and began to bend human consciousness.”
