Today marks the eighteenth anniversary since Carl Sagan’s untimely passing on December 20th, 1996. To commemorate his memory I would like to offer this blog post from November 9th, 2014. Today on Far Future Horizons we commemorate the eightieth birthday of Carl Sagan and are are proud to present a biographical documentary concerning his life. Carl Sagan was the rarest of all creatures - the celebrity scientist. While some accused him of being a grandstander, none can deny that his approach to science helped introduce millions of people to the great wonders of the universe that fascinated him all his life. He played many different roles - professor, working scientist, bestselling author and TV personality. In his classic television series Cosmos, he brought science to the masses in an accessible, entertaining format. But he also performed groundbreaking research in astronomy, and was willing to risk his reputation to investigate the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Explore the remarkable life of this visionary scientist from his childhood to his death from bone marrow disease at 62. Colleagues trace the many contributions he made to his field, while family members including his wife and sister offer insight into the private man. From Cosmos to Contact, this is the story of the dedicated man who shared his love of the heavens with millions. farfuturehorizons.blogspot/2014/11/carl-sagan-cosmic-celebrity.html
