Earth
The Pale Blue Dot
"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 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...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" - Carl Sagan
Planet Earth
Our Earth. The best thing that has ever happened to the Universe. Our Earth, 152 million kilometres from our Sun, with a perfect temperature, liquid water, and a perfectly balanced atmosphere, is the only planet in the Universe known to support life.
Life has existed on planet earth for at least 3.5 billion years. Over this time, an intricate web of life has evolved, and more than 2 million different types of plants and animals now call Earth home.
Earth is also our home. Home to more than 7 billion people. We humans evolved from our Earth’s natural world and we depend upon it.

“We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft.” – Adlai Stevenson, US Ambassador to the UN.
“The earth is the very quintessence of the human condition.” – Hannah Arendt
“In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” – John F. Kennedy.
