For one of my #gardening projects this #spring I decided to go all in on turning our little front #garden space into a better #pollinator habitat, sowing & planting lots of #Texas natives. Success so far with many of them now coming into #bloom. Along with that the #butterfly activity is picking up. Yesterday we had a visit from this female Eastern Black Swallowtail, she was preferentially partaking in the particularly plentiful #cosmos.

A weird comment in this article about #extraterrestrial #life and what it means for #Earth. Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal #Astronomical Society "believes that the discovery of even simple #alien life would be the latest chapter in the diminution of #humanity's place in the #cosmos". He says "I think the discovery of life elsewhere... would further reduce our specialness". That's an un- #scientific, subjective feeling, and I don't see it makes any difference/...

The video is obviously modern, and it looks like it is several of Sagan's monologues edited and stitched together with modern video clips.

It's using the right music for #Cosmos at the beginning, but whether that's actually from Cosmos I don't know. Sagan did other stuff.
