"If we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. We should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness."

And this is to the greatest science communicator of the 20th century. Inspiration for an entire generation of scientists and perhaps even for the ones to come. He certainly wouldn't have been too merry with the current state of our 'demon-haunted world' but I doubt the man wouldn't attempt to spread the right messages across. Happy Birthday Dr. Carl Edward Sagan!

Greetings!
Setting up some perspective as I begin tooting here:

This is our planet seen through the rings of Saturn, image taken in all three RGB spectral filters and stacked together by NASA's Cassini Spacecraft in 2013. Earth's distance from Saturn in this particular image is 1.44 billion kilometres or 0.00015 light yrs. All of life that we know of exists on a rock floating in space, an almost spiritual perspective nullifying any self-imposed importance we have mistakenly given to ourselves.

I have been writing tweets/threads on science - mostly astronomy & astrophysics since a couple of years now, a boost would be greatly appreciated to get started here!   @Deepsealioness
