Almost twenty years ago, on February 14, 1990, the Voyager 1 spacecraft took one last photograph of Earth. At that time, Voyager 1 had been traveling for 22 years and was four billion miles from Earth. At this distance, Earth takes up a mere 0.12 pixel; a "pale blue dot" indeed, as the late astronomer Carl Sagan described our planet.
In my opinion, it is important for us, humanity, to be reminded of just how tiny a corner of the universe we occupy. There are far too many people still who give short shrift to our Creator, Allah (swt). How grateful we should be to Him, who cares for us, watching over us and providing us sustenance and guidance, as we hurtle through the immense deep black of space.
