Summary:

The cosmos is all that is, ever was, or ever will be... we are, all of us, made of star stuff. Cosmos tells the fascinating story of how nearly fifteen billion years of cosmic evolution transformed matter and life into consciousness, of how science and civilisation grew up together and of the forces and individuals who helped shape modern science. Astronomer Dr. Carl Sagan is host and narrator of this amazing 13-hour series, now digitally remastered. With topics including the origins of life, the search for extra-terrestrial life, the "greenhouse effect", the lives of stars, interstellar travel and the effects of attaining the speed of light, this is a fascinating insight into humanity and the universe
