A celestial meditation inspired by the iconic photo taken during the Voyager 1 mission in 1990. The photo was taken from a distance of 6 billion kilometres in deep space where Earth appears as a tiny, "pale blue dot" suspended in a beam of sunlight.
Some of the words in the meditation are direct or slightly altered versions of astrophysicist Carl Sagan's quote, “Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us […] a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” This quote comes from his iconic book, Pale Blue Dot.
Original music composed by Stephen Garton, featuring Maddie De'Ath on electric guitar. You can find the instrumental version of the piece here - https://soundcloud.com/stephengarton/spacebound
