Carl Sagan Memorial
It doesn’t look very big in this picture, does it?
Yesterday was the 10 year aniverisary of Carl Sagan’s death.
Growing up in upstate NY, not far from Cornell, his name was one that I had heard over the years.
But the movie Contact, finally got me to read one of his books. Part of the movie takes place at the Very Large Array.
Last year while we were in New Mexico, the kids and I made trip down to check it out.
The scale was amazing.
To give you a better idea, check out this view.
Notice the truck parked next to the building?
