Carl Edward Sagan or just Carl Sagan, who was born in New York in 1934, was

an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, writer, and

popularizer of science. When he was young, he was always interested in anything
because he was very curious, a curiosity that he inherited from his mother. In
1939 his father took him to the 1939 World's Fair, the place where much of his
interest in life outside the earth was born.

After he graduated from Rahwat High School, he enrolled in the university of

Chicago, where after 9 years he obtained a doctorate in astronomy and
astrophysics in 1960.

Sagan was married three times, with whom he had different children, who would
dedicate themselves to writing, programming, acting and producing, etc.

His last wife, Ann Druyan, was the one who with him created his famous television
show, Cosmos: A Personal Journey. A program that was dedicated to creating a
disclosure of the scientific and astronomical advances of that time, as well as
creating awareness of scientific thought. Such a program would mark generations
of future scientists so much that two sequel programs to the eighties program
were subsequently created, Cosmos: An Odyssey of Time and Space, and
Cosmos: Possible Worlds.

His contributions to physics, astrology, and other branches of science were

exemplary, such as being the pioneer of the greenhouse effect, whose effect was
the cause of global warming that now exists. A man who always defended
knowledge, peace before the war, and above all wanting to know extraterrestrial
life. Part of his work as a science communicator, as was his television show, was
to provide accuracy to works such as the Stanley Kubrick film, 2001: A Space
Odyssey, or also to be a consultant on many jobs with NASA. One of his books
had a film adaptation, the script for which was partly done by Ann Druyan, but he
sadly was unable to see the adaptation as he died in 1996 and the film was
released in 1997.
