Carl Sagan on Voyager 2: "There's only one time in history when this happens."

[@curtlewis1834]

Dr. Sagan was probably the most eloquent science communicator of modern times. Truly gifted.

[@Dubnot]

One of the best voices of all time. Thank you Carl.

[@zagros90]

His voice echos in the Cosmos.

[@thejesuschrist]

Praise be Saint Carl!

[@macmalkawi1738]

Saint Carl "Peace Be Upon Him"

[@REBELLOGIC]

What an amazing person .. can listen to him talk all day long RIP 💛⭐️

[@DamianReloaded]

His book "Contact" is very very good. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

[@adex_smith]

This is so heart 💓 touching especially with the kind of sound😥

[@FaltFerngoth]

I still miss him, particularly in today's world.

[@hondadude7]

Carl could have been a poet

[@miabua73]

He was a poet.

[@LucAnderssen]

A true Science hero 😍😍😍

[@bb001a]

I wish he had lived long enough to see Pluto :(

[@laela1247]

Loved this man. Cosmos changed my life. Voyager.....an amazing feat more than he knew.....the technology then, the scientists..my deepest and uttermost respect to them. If you get the chance, you should watch The Farthest Voyage by Netflix. From the scientists who actually built it....

30 years ago, August 1989, Voyager 2 passes Neptune and its moon Triton!

[@zapfanzapfan]

It's about time we visited again!

[@juancastillo8948]

One of the most humane human beings that has ever lived...best of bests

[@franktorres3081]

The world misses mr Sagan a true hero of the world

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Earth should build automated 'ISS' style space stations above every planet... systems that could constantly monitor the worlds, and being a space station, support human vistors when they come to visit.

[@zapfanzapfan]

He left us way too soon.

[@spooky5216]

no dislikes that’s what i like to see

[@i20010]

A rare occurrence!

[@theonlymonkeymagic]

Carl rocks.. on the third rock..

[@sadven]

De verdad me hizo llorar....

[@yartar-pq9yp]

[@LeRescator1]

0 thumbs down.That is astronomical success

[@outerspace..]

My mentor.

[@carlcrutchfield5094]

❤💕

[@witchsorrowful1918]

We miss you Dr. Sagan. So much wilful ignorance these days. What happened since 1990 onwards?

[@Sinnbad21]

“The youman species”

[@ukaszsiwy3227]

Where are you Mr Sagan?

[@Ultra4]

i get visited but that pesky onion cutting ninja

[@ajd36]

What you absolutely must do when someone this important is saying such important things, is to impose generic music over his words and make the music distractingly loud. Well done,.

You heard it folks, PLUTO IS A PLANET

[@celairgilfaenmirion]

Hah! Take that International Astronomical Union. The whole definition they came up with in 2006 is unscientific to begin with.

[@phonotical]

@@celairgilfaenmirion they agreed because they wanted to go to lunch on time...

[@celairgilfaenmirion]

@@phonotical They agreed because it was a last minute, unannounced vote, when only about 1% of the society's voting members were still at the conference. It was Michael E. Brown and his loyalists who wanted to make the change for personal fame, not science. The other 99% were pretty pissed, and still are, at the unilateral decision that was pushed through. This is why it's a good idea to require a quorum for votes, otherwise you end up with idiots who stick around at meetings waiting til everyone is gone to muck things up and push their agenda. The IAU lost a lot of credibility that day. Pluto is definitely a plant. And then you have the folks who perpetuate the idea that keeping Pluto as a planet would result in so many other planets that school children could never memorize them all. Clearly they have no concept of how huge space is. By that logic we should classify all other stars as dwarf stars, so the only star children need be concerned with remembering is the sun. Ignoring for a moment that rote memorization is a terrible teaching/learning strategy to begin with.

[@phonotical]

@@celairgilfaenmirion our solar system only has so many planets in it, one of them we still have not found and its at least the size of jupiter 😂 don't have to memorise every chunk of rock in space, just the planets closest to you 😅

[@celairgilfaenmirion]

@@phonotical Agreed. Let's just stick with the the 9 classical planets, if we're going to force kids to memorize things. It wouldn't be hard to bump it up to 10 if planet X is indeed found. Technically stars, moons, and asteroids are planets too, by many classical definitions. But it would be silly to try to memorize all infinity-bazillion of them just because they are classified as "planets".
