His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. He assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, which were universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed the place, scale and geometry of earth--the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago--in our solar system.]]></description><link>https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S194C455600</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S194C455600</guid><category><![CDATA[AB_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sagan, Carl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burlington.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/455600194</comments><format>AB_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798886422962/MC.GIF&amp;client=bplon&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Visions for the 21st Century]]></title><description><![CDATA[Recorded at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, this audio work features the Pulitzer Prize-wining author, Dr. Carl Sagan.

In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science.  Praise for Cosmos  "Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge, Cosmos often seems too good to be true." --The Plain Dealer.  "Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third, his mind's, on the human condition."--Newsday.  "Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder."--The Miami Herald.  "Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space." --Cosmopolitan.  "Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated." --The New York Times Book Review.
