You and I tiny ripples on a little dot among dots and all made of this. “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” Carl Sagan, Cosmos. First image from Nasa’s James Webb space telescope. Bill Nelson, administrator of Nasa, said the image showed the light of galaxies bending around other galaxies, traveling for billions of years before reaching the telescope. “We are looking back more than 13 billion years. We are going back almost to the beginning.” In his 1994 book ‘A Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space’, Carl Sagan wrote: “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. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” Quotes in slides from Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
