On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, Carl Sagan requested NASA to turn Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look.

From 3.7 billion miles away, Voyager captured this image.

Here is how Carl Sagan described it:

“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.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Fresh off its $50 million @xprize win, @mati_carbon is piling projects to
sequester carbon and support farmers in the Global South.

“We want the risk to be taken on by the grant money, which will fail and succeed," says founder @shantanuagarwal.

@KumarAGarg Thanks for the shout out Kumar. Much appreciated.

Request a small edit above description for my ships idea.. it would be alkaline waste streams like Mg(OH)2 that would work better in the scenario of sea water. (Not limestone)

@mati_carbon applies silicate rock powders to agricultural fields, starting with rice paddy farms in India.

These rocks react with water and CO₂ to produce dissolved inorganic carbon that is subsequently stored in the local watershed and eventually in the ocean.

Congratulations to India and the ISRO team of scientists on the landmark success of Chandrayaan-3 mission!

... ... and here is how the Chandrayaan-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander to the Lunar surface.
