A few detail shots of Oasis so you can see the strokes.

“From that distance, my thumb fit over the entire Earth. I realized how insignificant we all are if everything I’d ever known is behind my thumb … When you see Earth from the moon, you realize how fragile it is and just how limited the resources are. We’re all astronauts on this spaceship Earth and we have to work and live together.”
- Astronaut Jim Lovell

“The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena… In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand… the only home we’ve ever known.”
- Carl Sagan, The Pale Blue Dot
