SAGAN SENSE

"When you're in love, you want to tell the world." -- Carl Edward Sagan This [space] serves as an ongoing dedication to the late Professor Carl Sagan, comprised of all things cosmos-related, in promotion of science literacy, STEAM education, and personal enlightenment amongst the ever-increasing hominid population on our organic spaceship, Earth. Curiosity continues to be the fuel by which I educate and share the wonders of science with others. Carl provided the spark that (re)ignited this passion, propelling me further toward continual exploration of the unknown, seemingly known, and the daily affirmation to embrace humility, as we do not know what we do not know. May this page aid in your understanding of the universe, effectively bridging the gap between ignorance and knowledge, in the way you interact with all living things for which we all share the same biological, chemical & atomic makeup. Keep looking up and remember: we are all star stuff, contemplating the stars, as our origins were generated in the cores of stellar explosions which continue to proliferate amidst the cosmos.

The world is bleeding. First recognize areas of bleeding and take measures to stop the bleeding. Second prevent more bleeding, by addressing the causes of bleeding. Determine parts that are not viable and too draining/too distracting/blocking of above efforts- consider amputating.

Use of technologies is neither inherently good, nor bad. Technology should be directed for good and in a measured, prioritized approach. All forces must be directed to the most damaging aspects first.

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”

El Ojo ‘The Eye’ Island Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

First discovered by Argentinian filmmaker Sergio Neuspiller in 2003, El Ojo is an uninhabited circular rotating floating island located within a slightly larger circular lake in the Paraná Delta in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. This island is constantly rotating on its own axis due to the flow of the river beneath it. The island was named because of its resemblance to an eye when viewed from above: as the island rotates within its surrounding circular lake, the eye appears to move.
