“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
— Carl SaganFor #CarlSaganDay I’m sharing my latest processing attempt for my #astrophotography class — the Andromeda Galaxy (with at least two of its satellite galaxies). The software learning curve is still kicking my butt, but as always I’m awed to be able to work with these images. Details in the alt text.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 91st birthday. He brought the wonder of the universe to the masses through his books and the Cosmos documentary series. Reading his novel Contact was a formative experience for me (though I wish the movie could have been more accurate).

On this day take your time to watch and listen to Carl Sagan:
'This combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is gonna blow up in our faces.'
[..]
'Science is more than a body of knowledge. It's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe, with a fine understanding of human fallibility.'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtCwxFTMMDg
Pray tell: which scientist living today articulates their wisdoms as beautifully as Sagan did?

The golden record of Voyager: a message to extraterrestrial creatures in deep space. From Beethoven to Indonesian gamelan, this record represents the richness of all cultures on Earth, our longing to be one, and to reach for the stars to meet and learn from other civilisations out there. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/753zLKabGubcg0NfM3a5SP?go=1&si=KT2xtEaQRHypx8HsgER_rw&pi=e-vEeX7VrPSwGE #CarlSagan #CarlSaganDay #AnnDruyan #palebluedot #voyager #voyager1 #voyager2 #cosmos #extraterrestrial

As a happy coincidence, #OurFragileMoment comes out this Thursday (Nov 9) in the UK (via @scribepub) which just so happens to be #CarlSaganDay
Carl's spirit and legacy both infuse the narrative.

Few have done as much as Carl Sagan, who died 26 years ago today, to bring science to the public.
Recently, I wrote about the legacy of his most ambitious project -- the remarkable novel (and later movie) "Contact": #CarlSaganDay #Contact

Happy #CarlSaganDay!
Planetary scientist and science communicator Carl Sagan was born on this day in 1934. He's pictured here in front of a Viking lander mockup. He helped plan the Viking missions and was a tireless promoter of the Viking program and other planetary exploration.

Ann Druyan wishes you a happy Sagan Day | Planetary Radio https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2022-ann-druyan-sagan-day
«November 9 would have been our co-founder Carl Sagan’s 88th birthday. His professional and life partner, Ann Druyan, returns with a love story — the love between two people that encompassed the Cosmos and had to be shared. Sarah Al-Ahmed will tell us about two missions to Venus. Sarah, too, was inspired by Dr. Sagan».

I read that it is #CarlSaganDay.
So here is a link to Sagan & Ostro 1994, detailing the "deflection dilemma" - https://www.jstor.org/stable/43312710 .
Which has so far been resolved by testing asteroid deflection, then not building deflection spacecraft unless we should really need them.
