It is a 13 episodes television series featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson which will air in many television stations from March 9th. It is a follow up of 1980 Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClPShKs9Kr0 . You can watch all the episodes from the series in youtube. There is also a book titled Cosmos by Carl Sagan. This book and the television series have many crossovers as well as different content.
I highly recommend every one to watch this documentary as it is informative and easy to understand. If you prefer to read, then Cosmos will be a good read (in case you haven't read it yet). The book is written in plain English and you don't need to have science background to understand it. It is one my favourite books of all time. What I liked the most about this book was information on the history of science, astronomy in particular. He discusses about how different civilizations approached scientific endeavours. I was left in awe when I read about many historical persons who achieved so much at time when there was not much to work with. In addition to historical events there are many other interesting stuffs in this book. It tries to answer the basic questions about our cosmos which most of us have wonder at some point in our lives.
Do you have any recommendation for other good books?
