sagan|sense

this is a dedication to the late Carl Sagan. In his honor, i will frequently update this page with all things Sagan, science & cosmos-related.

keep looking up & remember, we are all star stuff. we float amongst the cosmos, yet the cosmos is in us as well. star stuff, contemplating with stars. may this page bring you closer to your own individual enlightenment, further your knowledge of the universe & allow you to achieve wisdom & connectivity toward all things.

be skeptical. ask questions :) post it forward.

Waterworld
I extract the two plots of the figure from The Flat Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ1214b from Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope, a preprint in which Zachory K. Berta and collegues argued that the observations about GJ1214b, a super-Earth discovered in 2009, could be explained supposing the planet be a waterworld.
