A Mote of Dust Suspended in a Sunbeam

On February 14, 1990, Voyager 1 turned its camera back toward Earth and captured a single pale pixel — every human being who ever lived, visible in a scattered ray of sunlight. This unit uses that image as an entry point for understanding Earth systems, planetary boundaries, and the brevity of industrial civilization on the geological timescale.
