Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” gets a stunning animated tribute

Your weekend moment of zen, from the ORDER animation studio. There are few passages more iconic and everlasting than Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot. After a hundred times, it still makes me smile.

Here’s a previous animated version of Pale Blue Dot, and be sure to check out Sagan’s words set to some beautiful landscapes. Finally, don’t forget to marvel at the original photo from Voyager that started it all.
