Know Your Scientist: Carl Sagan

If you have even the most remote interest in astronomy, it"s likely Carl Sagan"s name has came up an uncountable number of times in your research on the subject. Though he passed away 17 years ago, his words are splashed on letterheads, his quotes inked into the skin of science enthusiasts all over the globe and his influence can still be seen floating on the outskirts of our solar system, in two golden records that are destined to be the first man-made objects to break free from the sun"s influence, allowing the discs to roam freely in the spaces between stars for eternity, perhaps.
