Why do we care?
Humans are curious.
We want to know what is out there…
We want to know if we’re alone in the universe…
We want to know if our planet is unique…
We want to find clues to the origins of life…
We want to know if there’s a Planet B if own planet dies…
Come back soon for exciting object images.
The smallness of Earth is emphasised in this photograph taken from above the surface of the Moon.

Carl Sagan, 1994
On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of,
every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
