And once you’ve listened to that, try this as a companion piece: Astrobiology by Oort Kuiper.

Holy shit! That IS awesome. I didn’t think it was possible to make Carl Sagan more awesome than he was, but here you go.

William George: That ought to be HOLY F-CKING SH-T. Jaw droppage. Awe. Total awe.

This remix confirms the realization that Sagan was trying to use poetry and metaphor to explain astronomy and physics.

The childhood years of watching Cosmos calls me back to the dawn of understanding.

We need a lyrics sheet.

Can you imagine waking up this morning to this song playing on the radio?

“A still more glorious dawn awaits/
Not a sunrise, but a galaxyrise/
A morning filled with 400 billion suns (whoa!)/
The rising of the Milky Way (at this point my head would explode from imagining the scale)

I never thought I’d ever describe a “YouTube remix” as beautiful, but…well, there it is.

I wish I was half as optimistic as Carl Sagan.

What a guy.

How awesomely appropriate is it that auto-tuned Carl Sagan sounds exactly like Kermit the Frog?
