We confuse reality with our hopes and fears." --Carl Sagan, astronomer, author and sometimes skeptic, dead today at age 62. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Happy Holidays From ParaScope The ParaScope team thanks our loyal community of friends and supporters for your support, interest and dedication to our cause. Thousands of you read this newsletter each week, and hundreds of thousands more of you visit our sites on America Online and the world-wide web, and we truly appreciate your continued interest in and devotion to ParaScope, the stories we cover, and the community online that we have created. We hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A Return to the Cosmos for Carl Sagan Stand-up comics loved to mock his enthusiasm for the "billions and billions of stars" in the universe, but few people have done so much to popularize complex cosmological pursuits as astronomer Carl Sagan, who died today at 62. Sagan, born in New York in 1934, thought he might follow his father into the garment business, but an early fascination with the heavens steered his fate in another direction. While skeptical of UFOs and alien encounters, Sagan was convinced that life of some kind existed elsewhere in the universe. Only time will answer many of the great questions Sagan posted -- with luck, many of us will be here when those answers are found. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Coming Up Next Week! It's the holidays, and you've got a little extra time on your hands. A few days off, and nothing to do but endure Aunt Helen trying to peddle fruitcake and Uncle Walt telling the same reindeer joke 11 times in a single day.
