I don't think Carl Sagan made any great contributions to astrophysics. He is widely known because he was a media figure.

He did work on real projects for NASA and did quite well. His brain turned to mush after becoming a pothead. His prediction of nuclear winter from the oil well fires after the first Gulf War is evidence of that.
