In a nondescript portion near the edge of the western spiral arm of this galaxy a much smaller swirl of matter and energy congealed into a centralized star, nine or ten planetary bodies, and a larger number of smaller chunks of matter which are now called comets, asteroids, moons and other things.
The third rock from the sun happened to be enough equidistant to exist within the ecosphere as it revolved around its star. This third planet has come to be known as Earth.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
