The Inspiration
In 1990, astronomer Carl Sagan requested that the Voyager 1 space probe turn around to take a photo of the Earth from 3.7 billion miles away. The Earth looked like a tiny speck, barely visible against the vast darkness of space. Sagan wrote a truly beautiful response to this image, about how everything and everyone we've ever known has existed "on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." That quote has always stuck with me and offered me comfort and perspective.
