submitted by hpqp

The poetic science of our celestial origins, narrated by the great Carl Sagan himself. May we never forget this great mind.

you had me at "Sagan"

I will always upvote Sagan. He is most definitely the one person who influenced my love for science, and opened my, at the time, young eyes to a universe of wonders with the Cosmos tv series.

*quality because it is absolute beauty.

Miss you, Carl.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by ponceleon.

Loved it. I was wondering where some of the source used in 'A Glorious Dawn' came from.

Edit: I know this isn't the true source. Just haven't viewed the original shows yet.

You could do a lot worse than making this kind of inspiring presentation of science a part of every school's curriculum.
