many of you might remember the original COSMOS book and tv series brought to us by carl sagan and ann druyan. i'm certain it inspired many of my peers to get interested in astronomy. the content of the original series is still excellent, but the visuals are a bit outdated and now there are whole new branches of astronomy with exoplanet detections and dark matter/energy searches.
luckily, new generations can now board the Ship of Imagination as the series has been rebooted and modernized. the sydney launch of the updated series happens tonight at the opera house with special guests neil degrasse tyson (who stars in the new series) and ann druyan (who produced and wrote much of it)! here is the trailer:
i was originally surprised that this will air on fox, but i think it's a good choice. and while i personally find neil degrasse tyson a bit annoying, i cannot deny his enthusiasm or the brilliance of the original COSMOS series. i hope it inspires many more for years to come.

It's a new series which just recycles the name. Too bad Ann Druyan couldn't have done the voiceover.

>> +1 for both the FOX and the Neil Degrasse Tyson bit :)
Obviously the format is spectacular.
I'm afraid only one thing: FOX
Sagan (and original serie) was atheist and to see a eye in the sky (well into a nebulose) gives me a bad feeling.
I was on premiere of Cosmos yesterday in Tallinn, Estonia. It was also organised by fox, and will be here at air in Fox, National Geography and NG HD channels. Fox just representative of NGC in lot of countries
