Default Carl Sagan blog-a-thon

Quote:
Fans and bloggers are planning a worldwide blog-a-thon to commemorate the life and legacy of Carl Sagan -- consummate scientist, communicator and educator -- on Dec. 20, the 10th anniversary of his death. Sagan was Cornell's David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences.
The event, organized by New York City fan Joel Schlosberg, encourages bloggers of all stripes to discuss the Cornell astronomer's influence in their lives. Schlosberg plans to compile a meta-blog -- a blog of blogs -- following the event to link Sagan bloggers to one another.

Who? Never heard of him.



Just kidding. Made you nervous for a second, though. Didn't I?

I saw Cosmos for the first time only 4 years ago. I checked out 3 tapes of the series from the liberery not having any idea what they were about. It looked like it was about space so I thought I would check it out. I watched the first cheesy spaceship opening and almost turned it off, I figured that it was way too old to be any good, but I had nothing else to do so I continued watching and was I amazed. I went the next day back to the librery and checked out the rest of the series. And I have to say that Cosmos changed my outlook of science and the universe forever.
thanks Carl.

I don't remember the series (too young, I think) but I recently checked the book out of the library and was also amazed.

I never thought to look for the videos - that's a great idea. Thanks, Rejinx.
