![I'd say something sentimental like 'I hope you're doing well wherever you are' but Carl was a skeptic and an atheist and it just doesn't seem right.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9TpcYke8yQGrh0b20fKVPfn3GtYwc7ihdiru5QPV8F_76yCHIw8T5LFL95gTi45FuV6WMnmaF8JcrtziSr14zZ6uIhGx8YJ3SC4BrNnXdmoXoYbmXZQGs9rrumd63oOe9brhOnD36w2DW/s400/sagan.jpg)
Ten years ago today astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan shuffled off this mortal coil. Chris over at Dorkland is reporting a Cornell-led blog-a-thon in the man's honor. Let me tell you just a little anecdote to relate how much of an impression Sagan made upon me. I saw his Cosmos series during the original 1980 broadcast. I was seven years old at the time. Over ten years later I held a copy of the book version of Cosmos in my hand for my senior year high school yearbook photo. That is a fact, Jack.
