Here is the Science Channel Web site on the Cosmos rebroadcast:
http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html I wonder how many people with cable TV actually get this channel yet? -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Cosmos Travels in Space and Time A startling voyage to see how star patterns change over millions of years is followed by a journey to the planets of other stars, and a look at the possibility of time travel. http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html Tomorrow, November 9, would have been Dr. Sagan's 71st birthday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_sagan -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,

Cosmos The Lives of the Stars Dr. Carl Sagan shows how stars are born, live, die and sometimes collapse to form neutron stars or black holes. Viewers then journey five billion years into the future to witness the Sun expand and engulf our planet. http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse.

Cosmos The Edge of Forever Dr. Sagan journeys to a time when galaxies were beginning to form, to India to explore the infinite cycles of Hindu cosmology, and to show how humans of this century discovered the expanding universe and its origin in the Big Bang. http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse.

Cosmos The Persistence of Memory Focusing on the brain, Dr. Sagan examines another of the intelligent creatures with whom we share the planet Earth - the whales. We then wind through the maze of the human brain to witness the architecture of thought. http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,

Cosmos Episode 12 Encyclopedia Galactica Are there alien intelligences? How could we communicate with them? What about UFOs? The answers to these questions take us to Egypt to decode ancient hieroglyphics, to the largest radio telescope on Earth and, in the Spaceship of the Imagination, to visit other civilizations in space. Dr. Sagan answers questions such as: "What is the life span of a planetary civilization?" and "Will we one day hook up with a network of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy?" http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,

Cosmos Who Speaks for Earth Through the use of startling special effects we retrace the 15 billion year journey from the Big Bang to the present. Dr. Sagan argues that our responsibility for survival is owed not just to ourselves, but also to the cosmos from which we originate. http://science.discovery.com/convergence/cosmos/cosmos.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse.

Conversations with Carl Sagan Edited by Tom Head "The progress of science is littered with dead theories; they were maladapted." Though a well-regarded physicist Carl Sagan (1934-1996) is best-known as a writer of popular nonfiction and science fiction and as the host of the PBS series Cosmos. Through his writings and spoken commentary, he worked to popularize interests in astronomy, the universe, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. From the beginning of his public career, when he co-wrote Intelligent Life in the Universe to the very end as he worked on the 1997 film adaptation of his novel Contact, these subjects absorbed him. This interest in space was rooted in his understanding of the smallness and vulnerability of humanity measured against the immense size and power of the universe. This profound philosophical humility, mixed with personal exuberance, comes through in Conversations with Carl Sagan. In interviews and profiles, Sagan discusses with verve a wide variety of topics--the environment, nuclear disarmament, religion, politics, extraterrestrial life, astronomy, physics, robotics. Whether he is discussing his science fiction or his well-researched nonfiction works, his voice embraces reason and skepticism. This volume shows how Sagan, a lifelong skeptic, refined his views and expressed amazement that Earth, for all his belief in extraterrestrial life, encompasses everything about which he cared. Tom Head of Jackson, Mississippi, is a writer and poet whose work includes Women and Families (Voices from the Civil War), Possessions and Exorcisms (Fact or Fiction?), and 1966 (The Turbulent 60s).
