I love that pic and Carl Sagan's comments on it (as douchey as he usually sounds): anything that has ever happened, love murder, everyone that you've ever known and that has ever been, has been on that tiny blue dot. Read the actual quote it's much more inspiring :)

It does make you pause - just like you might have in past evenings while gazing up at a sky full of pale blue and yellow and other colored dots...
