Hello everyone,
Today, November 9th, is Carl Sagan's birthday. I think we all love Sagan enough to give his birthday a shout-out from Wikipedia Fb and @Wikipedia. Here's some proposed copy, but I know we have a following of Sagan, so feel free to jump in! Thanks for reviewing.
Fb: "A central lesson of science is that to understand complex issues (or even simple ones), we must try to free our minds of dogma and to guarantee the freedom to publish, to contradict, and to experiment. Arguments from authority are unacceptable." - Carl Sagan. Today is his birthday! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
Fb: Carl Sagan's ability to convey his ideas allowed many people to understand the cosmos better—simultaneously emphasizing the value and worthiness of the human race, and the relative insignificance of the Earth in comparison to the Universe. Today is Carl Sagan's Birthday! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
Fb: In addition to being an award-winning astronomer, Sagan is also remembered for being the charismatic host of the PBS series,Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which has been broadcasted in more than 60 countries and seen by over 500 million people. Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
T: Happy Birthday to Carl Sagan! Did you know he has an asteroid belt named after him? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
T: Happy Birthday to Carl Sagan! Did you know he was also a vocal supporter for nuclear disarmament? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
T: "Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious." Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
