About Carl Sagan

Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan

«في كل مرة نختبر فيها أفكارنا في مواجهة العالم الخارجي، فنحن نمارس العلم؛ وحين ننكب على أنفسنا ونصبح غير انتقاديين، حين نخلط بين الآمال والحقائق، فنحن ننزلق في الدجلنة والخُرافة»

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us… The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life…Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand… There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known. — CARL SAGAN, reflecting on a photograph of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 space probe from a distance of 6 billion kilometers (Pale Blue Dot, 1994)
