Today is the birthday of the great science popularizer Carl Sagan

November 9, 1934 was born the American astronomer, astrophysicist and eminent popularizer of science Carl Sagan.

He inspired more than one generation of boys and girls to do science. Well-known astrophysicist and popularizer of science Neil Degrass Tyson, for example, told in his interview how, while still a boy, he received an invitation from Carl Sagan to visit his laboratory at Cornell University, which influenced his choice of profession. Under the cat a lot of video.

I could write an article about the activities of Karl Sagan, but, fortunately, it was done for me, so I recommend reading the article on Wikipedia . I, in turn, want to offer you videos translated and voiced by our studio.











Here are just a few things you can see about Karl Sagan.

There is also a wonderful series “Cosmos: a personal journey” in the voice acting by Alice Lafox.

As a continuation of the series, a remake of "Cosmos: Space and Time" was shot, where the presenter is already Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

I can not ignore the books of Karl Sagan, you just have to read them, I will highlight only the main ones:

"The Dragons of Eden: Discourses on the Evolution of the Human Brain"
“Blue Spot: A Look at the Cosmic Future of Humanity”
“A world full of demons. Science is like a candle in darkness. ”
"Science in search of God"

This is the minimum list of books written by Karl Sagan, which everyone who is interested in science, philosophy and history of science needs to read.

On my own behalf, on behalf of our studio, I can only say: “Thank you, Karl, for the inspiration!”.
