The Network Roundup: The wonders of the cosmos

And the man that made me daydream about the stars

Today celebrated the birthday of famous astrophysicist, astronomer, and cosmologist, Carl Sagan. To me, he will forever be the guy that could make anything sound amazing, and our world feel so small. There have been many who have tried, but there’ll never be someone who could communicate the wonders of space and science quite like the late, great, Carl Sagan.

We may not be crossing the universe, but there were some great things going across the network. From the amazing figures from Miyazawa Model show, to Wii U wonders, this muddy ball we call Earth can still be interesting.
