Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage", which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.

A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel "Contact", the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemecki's film of the same name starring Jodie Foster.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

[FeedEgg]

[ThyrmBloodaxe]

@cabbievonbump i agree. i am gonna continue watching this series throughout my life. carl is very inspiring. i deeply admire his respect and wonder for everyone and everything.

[ThyrmBloodaxe]

@TheHolydunk i wish there were. the most similar TV show i've seen is Music of Man by Yehudi Menuhin. he was a very curious and kind man like Carl. i can't seem to find the entire series online though.

[MultiLock13]

Well it's not just Carl Sagan who was the man, his team also needed credited to film and put this together as well!

[TheHolydunk]

Even though I was only 2 when he died, I can easily realize how legendary of a human being this was just by seeing this. Why aren't there more shows like this on tv?

[energicko]

Billions and billions: Carl was definitely one out of all that.
