jazztrombone 's review for:
Contact
by Carl Sagan
Are we alone in the universe? Does it matter? I truly enjoy thinking about these and other similar questions which is why I’ve watched the movie Contact many, many, many times. The book doesn’t disappoint either. Carl Sagan really nerds-out on the details, which was good for me.
Fun fact. The new Euclid space telescope, tasked with creating a 3D mapping of 1/3 of the sky, has just released its first images. Check them out!
Another Fun Fact: There are approximately 100 billion stars in just our milky way galaxy.
That’s a massively large number. The distances between these stars is difficult to comprehend.
Another Funner Fact: There are hundreds of billions of galaxies. The distances between these galaxies is … well … a lot! (If you’re old enough, you can remember Carl Sagan explaining this on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.)
Read the book! Watch the movie! Think!
