What was Carl Sagan’s favorite song? What would Beethoven think of his music floating among the stars? Find out in the recording of Ann Druyan's Q&A, now on our YouTube!
Please TURN ON SUBTITLES—we had some issues with the audio and video recording :(

Beethoven wondered if his music would be heard on other worlds... maybe it will!

Come out to Fuertes Observatory tonight to celebrate Yuri's night and our future in space (and celebrate the successfull @ESA_JUICE launch). @FuertesObs

Happy 100th Birthday, @FuertesObs! The Fuertes Observatory and its Friday night open houses, where visitors scan the sky through the Irving Porter Church Telescope, were bright spots for many during dark pandemic days. @CornellAstro @CornellCAS news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

I love this Carl Sagan quote misattribution cautionary tale by @gillislowry. Fun to read!
Read what they found out by using Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit. Sounds like the @CornellStore needs to update their quote wall? #CUSciStory #CheckYourSources

ALT Screenshot of first paragraph of story by Gillis Lowry in the October 2022 Cornell Astronomical Society newsletter. There is a graphic with text overlaid on an image of the cosmos: "Misattribution will often carry us to quotes that never were." - Not Carl Sagan
