"Our home planet, as Carl Sagan put it, is a "pale blue dot" . . . The "Pale Blue Dot" is a moving soliloquy by Carl Sagan in his 1980 television series Cosmos. The remake of this series, which aired in 2014 and was hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, replayed Sagan's soliloquy toward the end of the final episode (episode 13, "Unafraid of the Dark") with stunning graphics to illustrate that the Earth is a "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
