"We are one species.

We are star stuff harvesting star light"

~ Carl Sagan

American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, writer, Pulitzer Prize winner for non-fiction & What Jack Hanna and Steve Irwin are to the animal kingdom and Yo-Yo Ma is to the chello and classical music... Carl Sagan is to astronomy and science. (9.9.34 - 12.20.96) 

"I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars ... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me"

 ~ Carl Sagan

One more thing, that for whatever reason, this blogger feels compelled to share is something to consider, also something Dr Sagan said, it goes like this;

"Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth.

Each of those worlds is as real as ours and every one of them is a succession of incidents, events, occurrences which influence its future. Countless worlds, numberless moments, an immensity of space and time. And our small planet at this moment, here we face a critical branch point in history: what we do with our world, right now, will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants. It is well within our power to destroy our civilization and perhaps our species as well."
