A still more glorious dawn awaits

Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

Man. This stuff is just great. Thanks for the link!

Also: Carl Sagan had some epic eyebrows.

Yes, yes they are. Sagan!

Space is awesome.
I am “resuscitating” my spacey sig just for this

A friend of mine had an uncle who was basically the astrophysicist version of a pokemon rival to Carl Sagan. They both died of the same weird blood disease.

Spiffy!

very cool stuff

Not only have I not been able to get these fucking songs out of my head, but I’ve been watching the Cosmos series for the first time and have 3 episodes left. I wish I had seen the series and studied Carl Sagan when I was growing up. Fundamentalist Christian brainwashing and sheltering for the loss, but I guess that’s no excuse really.

Just finished watching Contact, which I have always enjoyed, but it takes new meaning and is much more powerful after learning about Sagan. Up next: his books.

Also, Stephen Hawking is going to be in a Cosmos style show on Discovery in April, guess it will run 4 episodes or so. Should be good. It’s called Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.
