Never Gets Old

jewel April 12th, 2009

Today on Bad Astronomy, Phil Plait linked to a BBC Radio 4 program where Brian Cox speaks about Carl Sagan. Listening to it made me nostalgic to watch the Cosmos TV series. So, I just fetched my DVD set and have begun watching.

Even 30 years after it was made, Cosmos is relevant and brilliant and inspiring. Carl Sagan takes us all on journey to know ourselves, where we came from and, hopefully, where we’re going.

Carl Sagan introduced me to skepticism and critical thinking and I am ever thankful for that. He inspired me to learn. Far from taking the beauty out of the universe, science teaches us just how magnificent it really is. And that we can even comprehend any of it is truly awesome.

If you haven’t seen Cosmos it’s available on Hulu. Check it out!

    Personally, I prefer “Cosmos for Rednecks.”
