Carl Sagan’s "Pale Blue Dot" Animated

BY MARIA POPOVA VIA BRAINPICKINGS.ORG

For Carl Sagan's birthday, his stunning "Pale Blue Dot" monologue, animated: “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.”

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed my share of animated adaptations of Carl Sagan’s iconic Pale Blue Dot monologue, based on the seminal photograph of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1990. Now comes a lovely motion graphics adaptation by animation studio ORDER — enjoy, and see if you can hold back the chills.
