Go On a Time and Space Adventure with NatGeo's COSMOS

How much do you know about our world, on how it started and how it came to be? Have you imagined how everything started? These are just some of the questions that will be answered in the new special series by the National Geographic Channel (NGC), "Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey". written and hosted by renowned space visionary Carl Sagan in the 1980s. The new show will premiere simultaneously on NGC and FOX on March 12 at 10 PM. The show will be the seuqel to "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage", written and hosted by renowned space visionary Carl Sagan back in the 1980s and now its sequel in 13 episodes starting March 12 at 10 PM.

Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey tells us how human beings developed their concept of the laws of nature and their place in the universe. It offers a grand view of the cosmos as it covers their pursuit of knowledge and the ever-expanding boundaries of astrophysics. Besides re-inventing elements of the original series, such as the Cosmic Calendar and the Ship of the Imagination, the show will use new modes of scientific storytelling to communicate the ideas that have helped build our identity within the vastness of space. Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey unfurls each scientific discovery in the fields of astrophysics and cosmology to reveal a bloom of knowledge that has allowed us to behold the grandeur of the universe.


What is more interesting about this who is one of the producers is Seth MacFarlane, creator of the animated series Family Guy. Known for his humor and crazy antics, it would be a rare opportunity to see him in a science documentary. To prove his interest in the show, he teamed up with Sagan’s original collaborators of "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" such as Ann Druyan and Steven Soter. Fans of Sagan’s Cosmos can rest assured that his closest collaborators have made certain that the update stayed true to Sagan’s vision while revealing new insights about the universe in which we live.

Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey will be hosted by popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, author of New York Times bestsellers Death By Black Hole and Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier. Tyson has the power to make the most profound secrets of the universe understandable in the simplest terms while remaining a firm and credible authority over the subject matter.

Confident that Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey would become as celebrated as the Emmy Award and Peabody Award winning series from the ‘80s, both NGC and FOX in the US aired the show, and this rare occurrence will happen again in Asia on March 12. The Asian premiere of Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey will happen simultaneously on NGC and FOX, reaching a far wider audience and inspiring a whole new generation of astrophysicists.



Tune in to Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey on March 12, 2014 at 10 PM on National Geographic Channel and FOX Channels for bringing another monumental show to its loyal viewers!
