Sun-like star

In addition to containing stars

when the full ALMA array is completed its vision will be up to ten times sharper than Hubble

satellite images of Earth at night have served as a fundamental research tool

The image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan's book, "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space," in which he wrote: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."
