Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of our planet taken in February 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe. The image was captured an incredible 6 billion kilometres from Earth. As the spacecraft was departing our planetary solar system, it turned around for one last look at its home planet. In the photograph, Earth appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera. The image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan’s book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, in which he wrote: “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. Space doesn’t just show us how vast the universe is. It shows us how precious home is”. The vast expanse of the world can seem impossibly huge. We aim to make the Pale Blue Dot smaller by offering comprehensively tailored travel to the world’s most extraordinary destinations.
Look again at 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… on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam”.
– Carl Sagan 1934-1996
