Life Beyond the Pale Blue Dot
Our own oasis of life in the cosmos is blue, but will others be?

An interesting article about our colour preferences, space and perhaps an irrational affinity for Blue.

    Pale Blue Dot... OH CARL SAGAN!

    In short, we're nothing. I am nothing, I am just one tiny particle living it's life thinking I matter in the cosmos. It keeps me humble.
