The Carl Sagan Blog-a-thon Meta-Post
Today is the tenth anniversary of Carl Sagan's passing, and as I promised in my original announcement, here is my promised meta-post for the Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-Thon with a gigantic list of participating blog posts.
I've been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of responses, so it's still incomplete. While I will be updating this list repeatedly, if I've missed your post, you can email or post a comment. Also, note that it's fine to post after the 20th.
Sagan's wife and collaborator Ann Druyan has started off her new blog today with the post Ten Times Around The Sun Without Carl, while his son Nick Sagan has posted his memories of his dad and his official blog-a-thon welcome following his posts here, here, here, and here. And Louis Friedman, who along with Sagan was one of the founders of the Planetary Society, has posted his memories of Sagan at the Planetary Society Blog.
The new website Celebrating Sagan has gathered a staggering amount of material. It's focused on user contributions, which may be useful if you don't have a blog but have something to say.
The blog-a-thon has been covered at The Ithaca Journal, Cornell's Chronicle Online, MSNBC, USA Today, The Syracuse Post-Standard, and China News Daily.
I've posted my own memories of Stephen Jay Gould.
A big thanks to everybody who participated! Also, thanks to Hell on Frisco Bay for providing the inspiration and model for this blog-a-thon, with a blog-a-thon for the centennial of the birth of Warner Bros. animator Friz Freleng here and here.
And now, the big list:

I've talked to a couple of astronomers here in Qatar and both of them had read Carl's work as well!

By the way, here's link to the actual blog-a-thon post: http://khazell1.blogspot.com/2006/12/remembering-carl-sagan.html.
I've edited the post you linked in the meta to have a link to today's entry, that way people can find it without your having to update the list unless you have a moment to do so.
Thanks again.
Thanks for putting it all together.
Here's my Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-Thon Post.
Great idea for a blog-a-thon. It's amazing to see how many bloggers got inspired by Sagan.
We've posted our Five Reasons to Remember Carl Sagan and linked it to this post.
Thanks for leading this!

It is easy to forget their impact after so many years but it was joy to be reminded by reading this blog.
Thanks again for the reminder.
