For the past couÂple of months, A GloÂriÂous Dawn, a mashup meldÂing Stephen HawkÂing’s voice with scenes from Carl Sagan’s CosÂmos, has been makÂing its way around the bloÂgosÂphere. Now, on the eve of what would have been Sagan’s 75th birthÂday (he died in 1996), A GloÂriÂous Dawn has been offiÂcialÂly released as a sinÂgle by Third Man Records, the label creÂatÂed by White Stripes singer Jack White. We have postÂed the video above. You can also downÂload the song in mp3 and othÂer forÂmats here, or buy it as a speÂcial 7 inch sinÂgle (pre-order here).

I don’t know if this is relatÂed (it seems like it would be) but this video, titled “SymÂphoÂny of SciÂence”, was released a short while ago which is a simÂiÂlar mashup, but includes clips of Sagan, Richard FeyÂnamn, Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGK84Poeynk
Very cool–and my perÂsonÂal opinÂion of Jack White has again increased–good show!
