Dear Esteemed Space Enthusiasts and Cosmo-Nuts,
Tomorrow night marks the premiere of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. As you know, this new series re-envisions Carl Sagan's groundbreaking 1980 series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.
Here at the National Academies, the Cosmos premiere fills our starstruck hearts with pride because:
- If you haven't noticed, we've published a thing or two about space, including books by Dr. Sagan and Dr. Tyson;
- Executive producer Seth MacFarlane first met Dr. Tyson through the Science & Entertainment Exchange, a project of the National Academy of Sciences; and
- "[T]he brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy." - Carl Sagan
Watch Cosmos with us on Sunday, March 9 at 9:00 PM Eastern and let us know what you think. Looking for something to do before the show? Need some captivating reading on astrophysics and space exploration afterwards? We've put together the Cosmos collection just for you.
Keeping Looking Up,
Your Friends at NAP |
