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.”
The Pyramid of Khafre, depicted in the image below, was initially completed in 2560 BCE. It featured a white limestone casing and a peak constructed of solid gold.
For numerous millennia, the pyramid remained largely unchanged. However, in 1303, a powerful earthquake struck the region, causing significant damage to the structure. The quake also resulted in tsunamis that inflicted severe harm and loss of life in Crete and Alexandria.
Taking advantage of the damage inflicted by the earthquake, the local inhabitants utilized their basic tools to dismantle the dislodged limestone blocks. These blocks were subsequently repurposed in the construction of mosques and fortifications, commissioned by a local Sultan. Regrettably, the golden cap at the pyramid's peak was also pilfered and subsequently vanished.
As a consequence of the absence of its white limestone shell, the pyramid lost its ability to reflect sunlight and remain visible from great distances.
