A Personal Voyage
The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean
Is Science Fact stranger, and infinitely more fascinating, than Science Fiction?
Carl Sagan believes so. ' Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences at Cornell University, and NASA award winner for his contribution to recent space exploration, SAGAN conducts us on a 13-part Magical Mystery Tour of the Cosmos. How about the big bang? Why the burning of witches? Are there UFOs? What are the ingredients of the primordial soup? The questions, throughout the series, are as unexpected as the answers.
In episode 1 we travel, in the space ship of the imagination, from eight billion light years away to take a fresh look at our planet earth.
