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

The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the
Cosmos stir us - there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a
distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of
mysteries

[A]s children tremble and fear everything in the blind darkness, so we in the light sometimes fear what is no more to be feared than the things children in the dark hold in terror … LUCRETIUS,
On the Nature of Things
(ca. 60 B.C.)

But you reassure yourself that at least here they are safe from baleen whales and oil slicks and cocktail sauce.
