Cosmos, sometimes referred to as Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, is a scientific documentary miniseries that aired on PBS. Celebrity astronomer Carl Sagan travels around the world to explain the origin of humanity, how we got this far, what we know about the universe, and where we're going. Though many of the special effects, wardrobes and hairstyles may be considered out of date, the information presented remains largely accurate today.
The series was made up of thirteen episodes. Years later, in 1989, a fourteenth episode was made from an interview between Ted Turner and Sagan.
