Pale Blue Dot
Carl Sagan cast his keen eye on the magnificent mystery of the Universe and, moreover, expressed it in a way that millions of readers around the world could easily understand.
Pale Blue Dot is the name of this crowning work. When the human race finally reaches a radically new frontier, the frontier of space, future generations will look back on our era as a time gone by. In Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan traces our magnificent new history in the cosmos and tells us about this new future that previously seemed like a shadow as we leave our solar system and travel to distances beyond the galaxies. Carl Sagan insists that the discovery of other worlds and possible settlements in these worlds is neither a fantasy nor a luxury: of course, this is an insistence that is maintained with the awareness of the conditions necessary for the survival of the human race...
