Pale Blue Dot The original adaptation of Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space,written by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan and published by Ballantine Books in 1994. Available on Amazon in both paperback and audio book version. This video was first uploaded to YouTube on February 2007 as part of the Celebrating Sagan Blogathon and subsequently featured on the front page in June 2007.It was a finalist at the Portobello Film festival in London, and the Concorto Film festival in Italy 2007. Used with kind permission of Cosmos Studios. Dr Sagan first presented this perspective to the world in 1991, when he revealed the parting image of Earth taken by Voyager from a distance of 4 billion miles.

Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot: On The Turning Away I've seen a Few Pale Blue Dot vids on YouTube, just wanted to take a shot. "Please Post any Video Respons, Thanks." -RevTyson This is one of the best PBD vids on youtube: Pale Blue Dot - Gabebro1 's Version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-lgW21hSZw "Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds." Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994 Music by, PINK FLOYD Momentary Lapse of Reason: "ON THE TURNING AWAY" A remembrance of Carl Sagan, astronomer, writer, and national teacher of science. Here is how he introduced his 1980 public television series "Cosmos." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARL SAGAN: ("Cosmos" 1980) The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home, the Earth. For the first time we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves. This is a time of great danger, but our species is young and curious and brave. It shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made almost astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the cosmos and our place within it. I believe our future depends powerfully on well we understand this cosmos in which we float like a mode of dust in the morning sky. We're about to begin a journey through the cosmos. We'll encounter galaxies and suns and planets, life and consciousness coming into being, evolving, and perishing, worlds of ice and stars of diamond, atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. But it's also a story of our own planet, and the plants and animals that share it with us, and it's a story about us, how we achieved our present understanding of the cosmos, how the cosmos has shaped our evolution and our culture and what our fate may be. We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads, but to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact. The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths, of exquisite inter-relationships, of the awesome machinery of nature. The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can't, because the cosmos is also within us. We're "made" of star stuff. We are a way that the cosmos can know itself. The journey for each of us begins here. We're going to explore the cosmos in a ship of the imagination, unfettered by ordinary limits on speed and size, drawn by the music of cosmic harmonies. It can take us anywhere in space and time. Perfect as a snowflake, organic as a dandelion seed, it will carry us to worlds of dreams and worlds of facts. Come with me.

Carl Sagan: Pale Blue Dot On February 14, 1990, NASA commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission, to turn around to photograph the planets it had visited. One image Voyager returned was of Earth, 4 billion miles distant, showing up as a tiny dot. "The spacecraft was a long way from home. I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point of light, a lonely pixel hardly distinguishable from the other points of light Voyager would see: nearby planets, far off suns. But precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed, such a picture might be worth having." "It had been well understood by the scientists and philosophers of classical antiquity that the Earth was a mere point in a vast, encompassing cosmos -- but no one had ever seen it as such. Here was our first chance, and perhaps also our last." "So, here they are: a mosaic of squares laid down on top of the planets in a background smattering of more distant stars. Because of the reflection of sunlight off the spacecraft, the Earth seems to be sitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world; but it's just an accident of geometry and optics. There is no sign of humans in this picture: not our reworking of the Earth's surface; not our machines; not ourselves. From this vantage point, our obsession with nationalism is nowhere in evidence. We are too small. On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential: a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal." "Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings; thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines; every hunter and forager; every hero and coward; every creator and destroyer of civilizations; every king and peasant, every young couple in love; every mother and father; every hopeful child; every inventor and explorer; every teacher of morals; every corrupt politician; every supreme leader; every superstar; every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there -- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings; how eager they are to kill one another; how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light." "Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand." "It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known: the pale blue dot." -------------------------- I decided to combine the great audio from palebluefilms' video with the great footage from VendettaVV's video. The monologue is spoken by Carl Sagan. The music is Mogwai - Stop Coming to My House. palebluefilms: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2pfwY2TNehw VendettaVV: http://youtube.com/watch?v=g-aX4kT_N9c Various individual clips are from a dozen other videos all over youtube.

Carl Sagan "Pale Blue Dot" (New Version) Spread This! Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. There are several different versions of "The Pale Blue Dot" on-line. The actual words were taken from Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" audio-book, the music was performed by Vangelis but was extracted from the Cosmos DVD (English audio track 2 has no narration, just the background sounds and the music.) All the pictures inserted into the video portray what I feel Carl Sagan was trying to say. Please rate the video & leave comments. If you like the video, please share it with your friends, family, enemies, and loved ones.

The Blue Dot - Les McCann A&M usually knew how to showcase its jazz artists when they had dedicated satellite producers on hand (Creed Taylor, John Snyder, etc.), but they just didn't have a clue about Les McCann. Once an inventive denizen of Motown, producer/arranger Paul Riser tries to tame the mighty Les, polishing his funky rhythms, decorating them with a smooth horn section and strings, and putting the gorgeously recorded results out as some kind of MOR dance music. Yet the main problem with this slab of vinyl is, again, the weak material, which the unimaginative surroundings only exacerbates. The track that has the most soul is the instrumental "The Blue Dot," largely due to Les' own funky synthesizer solo. Leave The Man alone; that's how you get the best out of him.

Carl Sagan reads from Pale Blue Dot - Galileo Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 -- 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who is closely associated with the scientific revolution. His achievements include the first systematic studies of uniformly accelerated motion, improvements to the telescope, a variety of astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo's experiment-based work is a significant break from the abstract approach of Aristotle. Galileo is often referred to as the "father of modern astronomy", as the "father of modern physics", and as the "father of science". The motion of uniformly accelerated objects, treated in nearly all high school and introductory college physics courses, was studied by Galileo as the subject of kinematics.

Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" - Greyhaven7 On Feb 14, 1990 NASA, by request of Carl Sagan, commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission and now leaving the solar system, to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth... 4 billion miles away. In this image, Earth shows up as merely a "pale blue dot" seemingly drifting in a sunbeam (the first image in the video). The Earth is only 0.12 pixels wide in the original version of this image. The words being read are Carl Sagan's reflections on this image. Tags: Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot |

Legendei sobre o original em alta resolução e utilizei BBE no audio, para deixar a locução mais incorporada na música do Mogwai. Assim, após o upload, a qualidade ficou similar à do vídeo original aqui no YouTube. *** Tenho recebido solicitações do vídeo legendado, em alta resolução. Fiz o upload de uma das versões aqui: http://www.badongo.com/vid/661381. O tamanho do arquivo é 223 Mb, e a razão disso é porque foi preparado para edição no hd, não para enviar pela net.
