sagan

An intelligent person who is not only well-versed in his/her subject, but is also graced with an ability to make that subject come to life for others who may not have as much knowledge. A Sagan knows how to evoke childlike wonder and awe, while not taking himself/herself too seriously. Humanisitic, warmhearted, optimistic, and unpretentious. Not just a sage - a Sagan.

"That Neil DeGrasse Tyson - what an excellent example of a Sagan!"

"Yeah, David Suzuki too!"

Saganova

The moment of epiphany when one finally comprehends a complex scientific, mathematical, or philosophical concept.

The term is a combination of the words "Sagan", the last name of the consummate philosopher-scientist Carl Sagan and "supernova", a stellar explosion so luminous that it can briefly outshine an entire galaxy.

A Saganova is not to be confused with a Sagasm, although the implications of the knowledge gained by the former may lead to the latter.

I just don't understand what you mean when you say going through a wormhole would be like folding through space -- whoa, whoa, whoa, Saganova. Got it.

Saganboner

A great love for all things astronomical and scientific in nature, similar to that of the late Carl Sagan.
