A few other noteworthy grid entries include the occurrence of both ALBA (1D, Actress Jessica), and ELBA (12D, Actor Idris with an OBE); and one of our favorite quotes from one of our favorite scientists, 34D, Scientist who said "Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dust", SAGAN.
