Recently I ran across a fantastic video called "The Pale Blue Dot" narrated by Carl Sagan. I thought I would share with everyone as I found it very moving. It also reminded me of a program I downloaded back in High school from Berkeley called SETI@Home, which essentially is the largest community-supported radio telescope - something interesting to add to your desktop. Carl Sagan just so happened to be the founding father of SETI and an all around interesting figure in science.
Check out SETI@Home:
