Carl Sagan in 1996, an interview to BBC Horizon’s The Time Lords. He passed away in December the same year.

I feel all the sad emotions right now. Carl should have been immortal.

They are all classic “personal view” style documentaries that everyone should see:

• Cosmos (1980) by Carl Sagan
• The Ascent of Man (1969) by Jacob Bronowski
• Life on Earth (1979) by David Attenborough
• Civilization (1969) by Kenneth Clark

Universe is inside us.

I adore the way Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan talk about each other. They seem so completely happy and in love.

Voyager and Cassini

1. Jupiter Portrait

Here’s a spectacular photo of Jupiter taken by the narrow angle camera flying onboard the NASA’s Cassini space craft. Jupiter is one of the four gas giants in the solar system.

2. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Region

This is a close-up photo of the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. The Great Red Spot is actually a storm located south of Jupiter’s equator. This photo was taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1979.
