I religiously watched his series, Cosmos, years ago and somewhere have those tapes. When these fantastic pictures come back from our telescopes, I often wonder what he’d have to say about them as he’d explain what we’re seeing so all could understand. Wish he was still here 🌺

drawn to watch the movie Hidden Figures, and so I did - 3 times.

Science requires space and space requires science. I admit I don't understand the details but am mesmerized when hearing someone like Carl Sagan speak. Johnny Carson had him on his show quite often.
