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.
