Speech for school

criticism welcomed

these rainy days bring along tomorrows memories, here to wish all of todays troubles away and set forth a clear road for what might lie ahead, having these shadow hosting clouds hover over as if with no presense at all and it`s contradictory due to the ominuse feeling they harbor, bring forth a new day, a greater beggining, a clean slate of which to step foot upon

Just thinking

Our observable universe is expanding and accelerating as we live our everyday lives. If it took light around 13.5 billion light years to reach us it seems our study of how big our entire universe really is will have to be answered by our own imagination. The reason being that as the observable universe grows the light of the billion trillion stars and countless galaxies will slowly dim and the day will come that our already isolated galaxy will be so out of reach from the rest of the universe that our once starlight night sky that has kept our imagination wondering will become a dark reminder of what could have been. Astronomy is not only a science that deals with celestial objects, Astronomy is an art, Astronomy is beautiful, Astronomy is beyond what anybody can begin to comprehend, Astronomy humbles you. Our universe is infinite why shouldn't our imagination and curiosity be any different?

Were just a pale blue dot floating on this endless

Here's the pick of Earth from a distance of 4 billion miles away!!!!!!
He basicly gives a in dept meaning to life

"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 a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

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."


That was a part of a letter form a famous astronomer named Carl Sagan,
Just thought it be cool to share that!
