Happy 80th Birthday Carl!
Here’s a little artistic tribute to my and many others’ greatest inspiration as a scientific storyteller. That his impact is still so great in 2014, when so many who share his meditations and explanations and dreams for humanity weren’t even out of diapers when he passed away… well, that speaks volumes.
Sagan showed us that understanding the universe is within everyone’s grasp, that we are all scientists, and that in a vast cosmic arena, this Pale Blue Dot holds all the beauty, pain, love and knowledge that make us what we are. This universe is worth understanding, and we all have our part to play.
Here’s a video tribute I made last year: Remembering Carl Sagan
