Today on Far Future Horizons we commemorate the eighty-third birthday of Carl Sagan and 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.
