This is  Astronomer Carl Sagan’s achingly lovely ode to the beauty of planet Earth. Richly colored, high dynamic range video of our land, sea, and sky in all their natural splendor, and a mellifluous music track accompanies the visual feast, along with a voice track of one of the greatest citizens of the Universe, the astronomer,  Carl Sagan.    When I was young, he was one of my heroes.  Right now, he sits on a star, flanked by Beethoven and Archimedes.

Here is a wondrous video, narrated by Carl Sagan, telling us the Earth is our only home…urging us all to rise and embrace our planetary duty..
