"Ah, but that picture shows so, so much. It shows everything!
That’s us. You, me, everyone. That fuzzy blob on the left? That’s Earth. The one on the right: the Moon.
In this one simple picture, you can see everywhere humans have ever been; hundreds of thousands of years spent on Earth, and a few brief days on the Moon. And this picture was taken from much farther than anyone has ever traveled.
This view of our home worlds was seen by Juno, a spacecraft launched on August 5. By August 26th, when it took this snapshot, it was already nearly 10 million kilometers (6 million miles) away. And yet this is merely a baby step compared to its total journey: it will take a long, sweeping path to Jupiter, traveling nearly 3 billion kilometers before arriving at its destination."
Yep, If I were the supreme being, that God guy, and I had a chosen people to put somewhere in the universe, that's exactly where I'd have put them.
