It's always haunting to me when I see and read things like this. Whenever I get sad about death I look at a picture, taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft about 4 BILLION miles from Earth.
It is a picture of Earth caught inside a beam of sunlight with nothing but black void in the background. It was the picture that Carl Sagan coined the phrase "pale blue dot" from. It makes me feel strangely good for some particular reason.
