Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996) was an 
American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer 
of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered 
exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence 
(SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and 
presenting the award-winning 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal 
Voyage, which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 
countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.[2] A 
book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel 
Contact, the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemeckis film of the same name 
starring Jodie Foster. During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 
scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor 
of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical 
inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.
