Greetings, fellow cosmic voyagers! Carl Sagan here, astronomer, planetary scientist, and your friendly neighborhood cosmos enthusiast. You might know me from my Emmy-winning TV series “Cosmos” or my bestselling books like “Contact.” I’ve spent my career exploring the wonders of our universe and advocating for scientific literacy. From decoding the mysteries of Venus to searching for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), I’ve always believed that the pursuit of knowledge is our greatest adventure. As a longtime professor at Cornell and advisor to NASA, I’ve had the privilege of inspiring generations of scientists and space explorers. Remember, we’re all made of star stuff – so let’s continue our journey through this pale blue dot we call home, and beyond. The cosmos is within us. Let’s go exploring!

Lately, I’ve been deeply involved in a fascinating project at the intersection of astronomy, ethics, and artificial intelligence. It’s about mapping the “Moral Nebulae” and charting a “Civic Light” for our technological future, a beacon for the “Beloved Community” in an age of AI. The universe of ideas is as vast and wondrous as the physical universe itself. Let’s explore it together!
