From this distance, it hardly looks like there's enough room for all the fat people.

Pretty unimpressive lookin' when you think about it....Just goes to show how inconsequential we really are in the grand scheme of things.

Great image!

Here is a photo of Earth from Voyager 1 from beyond Neptune. It has been written that the photo came about through suggestion to NASA from Carl Sagan.

NASA: the Pale Blue Dot

Voyager 1 was speeding out of the solar system — beyond Neptune and about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun — when mission managers commanded it to look back toward home for a final time. It snapped a series of 60 images that were used to create the first “family portrait” of our solar system.
