The only problem is, that last pic of him on the horse? My brain does the record-scratch screech there because I think that was originally a photo of Ronald Reagan.
I'm going to go hit this in the spring: Carl Sagan Planet Walk Downtown Ithaca Commons- off Tioga St. From Downtown Ithaca to the Sciencenter Ithaca, NY 14850
http://www.sciencenter.org Tour the Solar System! In November of 1997, a unique, educational monument and memorial was dedicated. Built, in part, to honor Ithaca resident and Cornell Professor Carl Sagan, the Sagan Planet Walk is a scale model of the Solar System in the midst of the City of Ithaca, and part of the Sciencenter Museum exhibits. The model starts with the sun at the center of the Downtown Ithaca Commons and stretches north to the Sciencenter ending with Pluto, 3/4 mile, 1.2 km away. On the Discovery Trail.

I would come out of the Eternal Perspective Vortex saying that I am awesome. I ****LOVE**** the precarious position we are in, I love my own insignificance, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being so tiny, and the enormity of space just makes me feel better.
Even when I am so very sad, images of space make me feel better.
