Cosmos spans its own galaxy of topics, each segment deepening our understanding of how we got from there (simple microbes in the primordial mud) to here (space-faring civilization in the 21st century). In his "ship of the imagination," Sagan guides us to the farthest reaches of space and takes us back into the history of scientific inquiry, from the ancient library of Alexandria to the NASA probes of our neighboring planets. Upon this vast canvas Sagan presents the "cosmic calendar," placing the 15-billion-year history of the universe into an accessible one-year framework, then filling it with a stunning chronology of events, both interstellar and earthbound. 13 one hour episodes, with bonus features: updates from Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, and new footage.

English soundtrack with subtitles available in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and English.
