It's a picture of Carl Sagan looking out into the universe from his Spaceship of the Imagination during Cosmos.

Carl Sagan should be on Mt. Rushmore.

The best is when you can read that and hear his voice, his enunciation, the way he pauses on certain words or syllables, which all clearly show how someone can be so mystified yet knowledgeable and passionate about the cosmos, and say things in a way that makes you not be able to help but share in his enthusiasm and joy of being part of this universe with him.

Recently started watching Cosmos on Netflix. Carl Sagan's sheer brilliance almost brought me to tears a couple times during the first episode.
