<p>Desculpem lá o <em>cliché</em>, mas este momento requer que se revisite o texto que <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan">Carl Sagan</a> escreveu sobre a famosa <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot">fotografia de família do sistema solar</a>, tirada pela Voyager 1 já para além da orbita de Plutão, na qual o planeta Terra não passa de um insignificante ponto azul em contraste com o fundo negro do espaço.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3><a href="https://planetary.org/bluedot_poster.html">Text from Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, Random House, 1994</a></h3>
<p>Look again at that dot. That&#8217;s here, that&#8217;s home, that&#8217;s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every &#8220;superstar,&#8221; every &#8220;supreme leader,&#8221; every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.</p>
<p>The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.</p>
<p>Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.</p>
<p>The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.</p>
<p>It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we&#8217;ve ever known.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_17" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 550px"><a href="http://caderno.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Carl_Sagan_near-Viking.png"><img src="http://caderno.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Carl_Sagan_near-Viking.png" alt="Carl Sagan junto à Viking lander" title="Carl Sagan junto à Viking lander" width="540" height="280" class="size-full wp-image-17" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Carl Sagan junto à Viking lander (Clique na imagem para aceder à fonte)</p></div>
<p>A sequência do inicio de cada episódio anunciava semanalmente mais uma hora de descobertas e narrativas fascinantes sobre o passado, o presente e o futuro do nosso cosmos &#8211; um momento mágico repetido ao longo dos treze episódios que a série durou, algures no início da década de 80.</p>
<p>Ainda hoje sinto um arrepio ao ver o genérico inicial, com o famoso tema &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_and_Hell_%281975_album%29">Heaven and Hell</a>&#8221; do compositor grego <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vangelis">Vangelis</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>Para surpresa de muitos, a série criada no final da década de 70 ainda se mantém, em grande parte, cientificamente actualizada, de tal forma que numa <a href="http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html">recente reedição pelo canal Discovery</a> apenas foram retocados alguns dos elementos gráficos e animações da série original.</p>
<p>Não fosse a tradução para português tão medíocre, este seria um material didáctico obrigatório nas escolas, um catalisador poderoso para o espírito científico que vive em todos nós.</p>
<p>Recentemente, numa visita ao <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos:_A_Personal_Voyage">site sobre o programa na wikipedia</a>, encontrei um link para um site espanhol onde seis dos primeiros sete episódios da série se encontram disponíveis para visualização. Infelizmente os episódios encontram-se na sua língua original &#8211; o inglês, e não está disponível a legendagem para português (que, como já disse, é muito fraca).</p>
<p>Existem aplicações que permitem capturar os episódios em Flash e guardar-los noutros formatos para visualização off-line, mas garanto-vos que esta obra merece o <a href="http://www.fnac.pt/pt/Catalog/Detail.aspx?cIndex=2&#038;catalog=dvdVhs&#038;categoryN=Filmes&#038;category=dvdDocumentariosCiencia&#038;product=8436022294974">custo de aquisição</a>.</p>
