Amazing Gaze

Comments (0) By Rob Kroehler Thursday, Jul 12 2012

If the late Carl Sagan is gazing down on all of us from his beloved cosmos then he'll have plenty of spellbound admirers looking back at him during Summer Stargazing and Music from Outer Space. Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Arts hosts the event in conjunction with its summer show, "This Is A Present from a Small And Distant World." On view through Sunday, October 7, it's a modern day response to 1977's Golden Record, a proverbial bottle NASA launched into the cosmic ocean to provide future spacefarers with a time capsule of earth.
