“In our time, when men have looked upon earth from afar, seeing it as a small, glistening sphere spinning in the black sea of space, it requires a long backward flight of the imagination to appreciate earlier perceptions of earth. They were visions of wonder and myth, and often they were marvelously wrong.”
― John Noble Wilford, The Mapmakers
