YAY! I'm a huge fangirl and wrote my first fan-letter in years to the "Symphony of Science" guy when the first one, "A Glorious Dawn", came out. You can watch both of them at: http://www.symphonyofscience.com/

I've been playing it all day. It's wonderful in so many ways--and yes, you've got the line I love the most

--we are a way for the cosmos to know itself--

But then, the "Cosmos" series was the one piece of television I wanted to share with my kids in the same way that I wanted to share certain childhood books. When I found the videos at the library and was able to have them see them, I felt that part of my mission as a parent was done.

... you know, I love every piece of dialogue that Symphony of Science used, come to think of it.

Thanks for the link soup. My hubby and I really enjoy the vids. We are both kind of deGasse junkies (Nova and Nova Science Now).

That's a frickin' awesome video. I remember loving Cosmos as a kid.

The video also included a short clip from the wonderful Powers of Ten movie.

Justine Musk's article was really interesting, especially since I'm smackdab in the middle of her book, BloodAngel.
