That loss is felt far beyond his immediate circle. Carl Sagan was interesting even when he was wrong, and even those who disagreed with him were compelled to recognize his formidable intelligence and intellectual curiosity.

Future popularizers of science will be hard-pressed to match his eloquence and
range.

Kenneth Silber writes about science, technology, and economics.
