"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

Oh, thank you, that's what I was going to read after I finished Deathly Hallows: Pale Blue Dot by Sagan.

Wonderful reminder, thanks!

Then, of course, there's this image

Really puts things in perspective ... and also inspired the name of my own journal!

Have a nice day
