		Pale blue is a tinted shade of the color blue.
		Blue (from Old High German blao shining) is one of the three primary additive colors; blue light has the shortest wavelength range (about 420-490 nm) of the three primary colors.
		Blue Heron Pale Ale is a delightful medium bodied golden ale brewed using premium two-row Pale malted barley, generous amounts of both Cluster bittering hops and Cascade finishing hops as well as our special, proprietary yeast strain.

		The greatest challenge of the Pale Blue Dot III workshop, at least for the scientists, was that we were expected to be clear for a non-specialist audience, but also be technically rigorous and groundbreaking.

		The Voyager spacecraft did it in 1990, revealing Earth to be a "pale blue dot." Those three words are the title of one of Carl Sagan's finest books.
		"Earth appears blue because its atmosphere scatters blue light around, literally filling the sky with the color blue," says a news release from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which controls Cassini from Pasadena.
		Still, the discovery of a pale blue dot outside our solar system would raise the prospect that scientists had found a world amenable to life.

	Pale Blue Orb
		Not since NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft saw our home as a pale blue dot from beyond the orbit of Neptune has Earth been imaged in color from the outer solar system.
		At the distance of Saturn's orbit, Earth is too narrowly separated from the sun for the spacecraft to safely point its cameras and other instruments toward its birthplace without protection from the sun's glare.
		The image was taken by the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Sept. 15, 2006, at a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Saturn and at a sun-Saturn-spacecraft angle of almost 179 degrees.

		Evidence for an ocean-covered world, or pale blue dot, would provide some of the most compelling evidence that at least simple microbial life might find safe harbor outside of the Earth.
		Indeed, in looking back at our own planet from space--the "Pale Blue Dot"-Carl Sagan used the Viking photograph of Earth from over 3 billion miles to highlight both the vastness of space and the relative importance of water for life on Earth.
		The 1996 NASA-Ames Workshop, called the Pale Blue Dot, summarized the prospects: "The presence of H2O bands in a planet's atmosphere, combined with knowledge of the amount of stellar radiation it absorbs and its effective radiating temperature, should provide a good indication of whether liquid water exists at the planet's surface.
