Earth photo from 11 billion miles

This tiny dot, amid a band of coloured rays, is our planet, as seen from staggering distance of 11,100,000,000 miles away, and pictured in 1990.


The picture was taken by Voyager-1. This should give us some idea how small we are in the universe.

    And yet, sadly, we carry on as if we are top dog.
