Like many of you, I was amazed and inspired by last month’s release of the first images from the James Webb Telescope. The vivid and colorful snapshots of deep space reveal countless galaxies, each one containing hundreds of billions of stars and planets.
For me, personally, viewing these images is a humbling experience—not only because of the incredible genius of the telescope’s designers and engineers, but also because these views of the incomprehensibly vast and inhospitable expanse of space are a stark reminder of the fragility of life on Earth and the environment that sustains us.
As people across the world endure yet another record-breaking heat wave, and as many regions suffer from devastating droughts, water shortages, and wildfires, we simply must redouble our efforts to, as astronomer Carl Sagan put it, “preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
