or anyone with a curiosity for the Cosmos. I looked up Carl Sagan on youtube. He is the most well known cosmologist of recent times. I think you guys can appreciate the knowledge this man had to offer. This month was the tenth anniversary of his death. As of yet there isn't a person who has stepped up to fill his shoes and I don't think there ever will be. Anyway most of the clips are from the PBS TV series Cosmos. He goes into alot of stuff about the origions of the universe, evolution, contacting E.T. life and so on. I hope you guys enjoy it. Look around a little there are some pretty fascinating videos in there.

Yeah his way of speaking was unique but it suited him I think. Definatly a brilliant guy. The show still comes on on the Discovery Science channel at 8pm your time(central) on Tuesday nights and then really early on Wednsday mornings.

Speaking of astronomy, stumbled upon these pictures that tend to give a lil visual perspective on our size.

I remember those pics. Truly puts things in a different perspective. I've always wondered what percentage a grain of sand adds to the mass of the universe.
