Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan.

We should all celebrate this day with an act of science or skepticism. Plant the seed of inquiry and critical thinking, or take a moment to broaden your own horizons. I was up before dawn this morning and watched the morning stars fade behind the light of the rising sun. It brought to mind my elementary school science classroom and the scratchy VHS recordings of Cosmos we frequently watched. I have since been rapt by the wonder of our universe and our place amongst the stars.
