Cosmos II

File this in the Awesome Stuff bin...there's going to be a sequel to the Cosmos series!! Produced by Carl Sagan's wife, Ann Druyan, and Seth MacFarlane. And narrated by the brilliant cosmologist Neil deGrasse Tyson (pictured below), one of the very few people who approaches Carl's great ability to communicate science to the public. It's going to be 13 episodes, as was the first series. Set for 2013 release.

"The producers of the show say the new series will tell the story of how human beings began to comprehend the laws of nature and find our place in space and time. It will take viewers to other worlds and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience."

I'm there.
