Carl Sagan's Cosmos

This documentary by Carl Sagan is now a classic in popularist science. I loved the 13 part series when it first came out in 1980, i remember it inspired me to get a telescope and spend some awe filled moments outside looking up at the night sky. The haunting music by Vangelis became a hit and many people around the world were inspired by this great teacher to find wonder in the world around them.
