This image shows earth from 10 million km away, a distance that is almost inconcevable yet is just a stones throw away in galactic terms. A speck of dust, suspended in the sea of space. Our world is so small, so seemingly insignificant when compared to the vastness of the universe, against the trillions of other stars, planets, galaxies and nebulae. On that speck, countless species have evolved and become extinct, civilisations have risen and fallen, wars have raged and great feats have been achieved. In the blackness of space it is the smallest jewel, but the only one we have. Look at the blackness, if we spoil our home there is no where to go, only the blackness of space, no second home, no place to take refuge when man in his stupidity destroys the thing that gives him life. It may seem an insignificant speck, but it is not, for on it there are 7 billion of us and a trillion other species that make this speck so very special.
