Music by James, playing on
Music by James, playing on a mandole made by luthier, François Baudemont. Song in D A D G tuning.
A song dedicated to Carl Sagan who coined the phrase “Pale Blue Dot” 🌍 while reflecting on a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), as part of a series of images of the Solar System. In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera. Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take one last photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, at the request of astronomer and author Carl Sagan. In his reflections on the photograph's significance, Sagan wrote about it in his 1994 book of the same name, and it contains very special quote on our perspective in the vastness of space.
