The audio is accompanied by a visual journey from Earth's orbit to the edge of the solar system, where, in 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe captured the famous image of Earth that Sagan dubbed "Pale Blue Dot."  Note: The camera is panning out at a velocity much greater than the speed of light.  In the video it took 3 minutes to get to Neptune.  Actually, it takes 4 hours for light to travel from Earth to Neptune (at 186,287 miles per second).   More info: How fast does light travel from the Sun to each planet?  Mercury 3.2 min / Venus 6 min / Earth 8.3 min / Mars 12.6 min / Jupiter 43.2 min / Saturn 79.3 min / Uranus 159.6 min / Neptune 4.1 hrs / Pluto 5.5 hrs
