Cosmos, for those who don't know, is a 13 part television series created in the 70's by Carl Sagan, Anne Druyan, and B. Gentry Lee aiming at educating the population on the vastness of the Cosmos, the history of the universe, origins of humans, and human history.
I've watched a few episodes of the series, and am currently reading the book version. I'm finding it EXTREMELY educational and surprisingly easy to read for what is essentially trying to be the "series that explains everything"
I wish I could show this to every man, woman, and child on earth. It was made in the 70's, but has only required minor changes and substitutions to allow for current knowledge.
My favorite part is Episode 2 of the series called "One Voice in the Cosmic Fuge" where he traces human origins from amino acids to now. Mind blowing.
So yeah... Go Cosmos! I suggest you all pick up the book if you're interested in astronomy, or the origins of humans (NOT Astrology, although he does talk about that particular pseudoscience in detail) to check it out.
