Astro-physicist Dr. Carl Sagan was the creator of the "Cosmos" series that aired on PBS in 1980. Dr. Sagan died from bone marrow cancer after a bone marrow transplant failed in 1996 at the age of 62.
On November 9 Dr. Sagan would have been 75 and to commemorate the date Third Man Records is releasing "A Glorious Dawn" - a single that is comprised of manipulations of Sagan's voice using snippets from the "Cosmos" series. Physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking also appears on the single.
Composer John Boswell altered the voices and mixed the pieces to create "A Glorious Dawn".

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sagan, he was my first press conference; I think he would be pleased with the single since he wanted to make science understandable for everyone.
i remember the Cosmos series....Dr Carl Sagan was a great man indeed and the way he explained complex scientific theories and concepts in that program was reveloutionay at that time....thanks for writing about that great man and making me remember him once again.
Fifileigh - That video and some others are on You Tube. They are also available for download from www.symphonyofscience.com; but there was no mention of putting it on the television, only releasing the "song" as a single.
