Carl Sagan Blog

Posted in Science at 10:38 am by David Bradley -- 2 Comments; add your comment

Carl Sagan BlogCarl Sagan was one of my childhood heroes, watching the Cosmos unfold on his seminal TV show was almost a weekly religious experience.

On 20th December, Sagan fans and bloggers will launch a worldwide blog-a-thon to commemorate the life and legacy of Carl Sagan on the tenth anniversary of his death.

The event has been organized by New York City Sagan fan Joel Schlosberg, and encourages bloggers of all stripes to discuss the influence of outspoken astronomer, science communicator and creator of Contact. Schlosberg plans to compile a blog of blogs.

Make contact on December 20.

    An excellent tribute would be a DVD version of Sagan’s Royal Institution Christmas lectures of 1977 0n the planets - a high point of a distinguished series. Does the BBC hold tapes? “Cosmos” at a sensible price - Amazon UK has only Amazon Marketplace Sellers from about £47.00 - would be good too. It neeeds to be recirculated widely.

    Yep, 47 quid is a bit steep. I don’t suppose it’s been loaded on to Youtube yet either!
