^_^ It is Carl Sagan's birthday in a few days, and today is the first official Carl Sagan Day. For those of you who don't know, before his death, Carl Sagan was an astronomer and science populariser. On the astronomy side, was heavily involved in the Voyager Spacecraft and SETI among many other things, and on the entertainment side, he created the series Cosmos and wrote Contact, (the book that the Jodie Foster movie was based on) among many other things.

It's hard to pick among his work for examples, since all of it is so incredible, as far as I'm concerned he was (and remains) the best popular presenter of science. His method of delivery is so direct, uncluttered and clear. Anything he explains is graspable, whether that's a 4th spatial dimension, or very large numbers and watching Cosmos has moved me close to tears on a number occasions with its insight, scope and depth of humanity. For anyone who wonders why science is relevant, or why we should care about galaxies or atoms when they seem to have nothing to do with our lives, watch Cosmos, and science will for good reason come to seem the most human endeavour we can undertake.

As a little trivia, it's even evident that as part of his riveting performance in The Matrix, Hugo Weaving copied Carl's mannerisms, which is why they might seem so hauntingly familiar for people who are new to his work, and possibly why it's so hard to take your eyes off Agent Smith when he talks.

So to celebrate his awesome life, how about some music:

This is a really cute little song called Cosmic Carl
And this is a bunch of clips from Cosmos, all edited to a tune XD


So, hail Cosmic Carl, billions and billions of cheers indeed!

So, in honour of the 40th prompt (which is not at all terrible!) I thought I would do some haiku as prompt entries. They're probably a little small to be considered a REAL response (for those who don't know what a haiku is, it's a form of poetry made up of three lines, the first and third line having five syllables each and the second line having seven), but here they are anyway.

They also continue my epic quest to complete a response for ALL Superdictionary challenges - so far I've done 27 out of a possible 40, extrapolate from that my mental helath as you please. ;)

 

For those of you not reading on Blogger, go have a look at the poll on the right of the blog over there. I'll wait. Ah, there you are again, that didn't take long. The wisdom of crowds has spoken, and it says that the five Hugo nominees for the Short Form Drama category next year will be episodes from:

I told you. I told you all. The Dog is the Enemy of the Human. But you wouldn’t believe me. Now look.

…dogs have a greater eco-footprint than gas-guzzling SUVs.

See? SEE?
