When I was younger I watched a Astronomy show on PBS. It was on weekly from what I remember.

It started off with a image of Galaxy Spinning ( Cool Spacey Music to boot) and a host would appear (I believe he had a mustach.)


Sorry about not being able to give more details. I was very young.

Any help would be great.


I'm not 100% if this show was done in the 80's Maybe late 70's.

I've been watching the updated series and the original narration is entirely intact. There are, indeed, new computer-generated graphics, but more impressively, there are numerous images from the Voyagers, Galileo and Cassini that had not been acquired yet at the time Cosmos was originally produced.

For example, at one point Sagan is speaking of the outer planets, and his narration only discusses Jupiter and Saturn. But the images went on to show Voyager 2 and HST images of Uranus and Neptune, including the famous Voyager 2 Neptune rotation movie.

While there aren't any Saturn images from Cassini in the updated series, they do use Cassini's Jupiter encounter movies.

Oh, and there are quite a few Pathfinder and MER images of Mars in the appropriate segments.

The producers did a fine job of merging the new imagery into the existing narration.
