Throwing it back to last November and our Matschie’s tree kangaroo joey with her mom. Although the joey may have outgrown mom's pouch, she still keeps a watchful eye on her. #TBT
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"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.”

NASA has modeled the CME launched by yesterday's M3.9 solar flare and predicts a glancing blow on Tuesday, 5 April. Geomagnetic storming is not likely if the cloud arrives at Earth but it could be something to keep an eye on in case you are a high latitude sky watcher.
A shimmering Roman amethyst intaglio.
Engraved c. 25 BCE and set in a modern gold swivel mount, it vividly depicts the winged goddess Victory writing on a round shield.
