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
If we offer too much silent assent about mysticism and superstition - even when it seems to be doing a little good - we abet a general climate in which scepticism is considered impolite, science tiresome, and rigorous thinking somehow stuffy and inappropriate. Figuring out a prudent balance takes wisdom.
A ciência não é só compatível com a espiritualidade; é uma profunda fonte de espiritualidade. Quando reconhecemos nosso lugar na imensidão de anos-luz e no transcorrer das eras, quando compreendemos a complexidade, a beleza e a sutileza da vida, então o sentimento sublime, misto de júbilo e humildade, é certamente espiritual. Como também são espirituais as nossas emoções diante da grande arte, música ou literatura, ou de atos de coragem altruísta exemplar como os de Mahatma Gandhi ou Martin Luther King. A noção de que a ciência e a espiritualidade são de alguma maneira mutuamente exclusivas presta um desserviço a ambas.
