In 2014, the shadow of Carl Sagan’s 1980 landmark series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage was not just honored but boldly re-inhabited. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey , hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and guided by the creative hand of Ann Druyan (Sagan’s collaborator and widow), arrived not as a remake, but as a necessary sequel for the 21st century.
