The picture is frequently referred to as the "pale blue dot", and provided both the frontispiece and the title for one of Sagan's most celebrated books, published in 1994. Sagan himself, as was his wont, expressed its significance with an eloquence to which most of us can only aspire:

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. [...] 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 "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I didn't get it at first either, but I finally figured it out. Tj was trying to say that the universe is like a testicle in a cup. Get it? Pretty deep stuff.

Just kidding.

The picture he linked to is named carl-sagan-old-spice.gif. A quick google search of those terms lead me to the picture he meant to display, which is:

What happened was the site that he linked to (http://www.jwz.org) got huffy that he would dare to infringe on their bandwidth and swapped out the picture the link pointed to. How droll.

It's always best to host your own pics though.
