Happy Carl Sagan Day, everybody
By Tom Chivers
It would have been Carl Sagan’s 76th birthday on Tuesday, and his army of nerdish fans around the world have dedicated a day to his memory. It’s today, for some reason, so go and celebrate.
There’s a lot to love about Sagan: a great scientist and great author, a genuine thinker and an excellent populariser. His book and TV series "Cosmos" remain some of the greatest works of popular science of all time. And, of course, he is one of the most quotable men in history.
Hat/Tip to Inspired By Nature for this topic.
