The Pale Blue Dot

Saw this image (click on link above) on Facebook today, and this occurred to me:

So beautiful and so chilling — that we, little atoms on this vast playground, are sentient and self-aware. What must the larger beings be like? What might they be thinking? Would their thinking be like ours? When does a being become self-aware? The day that we discern this, from the atomic level to the cosmological level, we will have reached apotheosis.
