Earth from afar

 

Shot by the Spirit rover, from Mars

Shot by Voyager 1, as it left the solar system (4 billion miles)

In the Voyager image, Earth was 0.12 pixels.  Read about it here.

Astronomy is good for apprehending reality: go outside; look up; feel small.
All those dots are moving around you.
It helps to know what you're looking at.
