Cosmos

Cosmos is the story of our long journey of discovery and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science, including Democritus, Hypatia, Kepler, Newton, Huygens, Champollion, Lowell and Humason. Sagan looks at our planet from an extraterrestrial vantage point and sees a blue jewel-like world, inhabited by a lifeform that is just beginning to discover its own unity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. The late Dr. Sagan’s multi Emmy and Peabody Award winning series goes beyond a guided tour through billions of stars and galaxies. Cosmos remains one of the most profound statements in exploration, crossing boundaries between science and religion.
