Astronomer and author Carl Sagan passed away on this day 15 years ago. In his honor, here’s one of my favorite videos on the Internet, which features Sagan reading from his 1994 book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, art and animation by Adam Winnik, and music by Hans Zimmer (“You’re So Cool”).
