COSMOS: Possible Worlds Trailer | FOX
Airing as a global event on FOX and National Geographic, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning COSMOS will return for its third season in Spring 2019. It will once again be executive-produced, written and directed by Ann Druyan (NASA’s Voyager Record, “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” “Contact”) and executive-produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, The Orville, COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey), Brannon Braga (The Orville, COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey), who also is co-writer and director of the series, and Jason Clark (The Orville, COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey). Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed pop-culture icon, astrophysicist and host of the Emmy Award-nominated “StarTalk,” will return as host.
Co-created by the legendary astronomer Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan in 1980, COSMOS has transported a global audience to the farthest reaches and most deeply hidden recesses of the universe. In the course of those journeys, the series has examined the real stories of the forgotten searchers who helped us understand our place in the universe. Following the wildly successful second season, COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey, seen by more than 135 million people worldwide on National Geographic and FOX, and the most-watched series ever on National Geographic Channels internationally, the new season, COSMOS: POSSIBLE WORLDS, will premiere in the U.S. on both FOX and National Geographic and globally on National Geographic in 180 countries and 43 languages.
Continuing the legacy of its predecessors, COSMOS: POSSIBLE WORLDS will translate the revelations of science into a lavishly transporting experience, taking audiences on a series of spiritual voyages of exploration. We are living in the golden age of discovery of new worlds to explore and possibly inhabit. In the vastness of time and the immensity of space, their number and the stories they contain are virtually infinite. The new season will reveal previously uncharted realms, including lost worlds and worlds to come, and those that we may one day inhabit in a thrilling future we can still have.
In conjunction with the launch of the new season, National Geographic Books also will publish a companion book, COSMOS: POSSIBLE WORLDS, by Ann Druyan, the long-awaited follow-up to Carl Sagan’s historic international bestseller, COSMOS: A Personal Voyage.

Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's "Earth Guide for Extraterrestrials"
A montage of sights and sounds etched into a phonograph record—a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk—launched into space on NASA's Voyager probes in 1977 for their interstellar journeys. The discs carry photos of the Earth and its lifeforms, a range of scientific information, spoken greetings from the people (e.g. the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the United States, and the children of the Planet Earth) and a medley, "Sounds of Earth", that includes the sounds of whales, a baby crying, waves breaking on a shore, and a collection of music, including works by Mozart, Blind Willie Johnson, Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", Valya Balkanska and other Eastern and Western classics and performers worldwide.
Sounds of Earth:

Greetings to the Universe in 55 Different Languages: http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/greetings.html
Music From Earth:

Scenes From Earth: http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/scenes.html
The Voyager spacecraft are not heading towards any particular star, but Voyager 1 will be within 1.6 light-years of the star Gliese 445, currently in the constellation Camelopardalis, in about 40,000 years.
As the probes are extremely small compared to the vastness of interstellar space, the probability of a space-faring civilization encountering them is very small, especially since the probes will eventually stop emitting electromagnetic radiation meant for communication.
Carl Sagan noted that "The spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this 'bottle' into the cosmic 'ocean' says something very hopeful about life on this planet." Thus the record is best seen as a time capsule or a symbolic statement more than a serious attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
The content of the records were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University, et. al. Dr. Sagan and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds, such as those made by surf, wind and thunder, birds, whales, and other animals. To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in fifty-five languages, and printed messages from U.S. President Carter and U.N. Secretary General Waldheim. Ann Druyan was the Creative Director of the Golden Record.
Each record is encased in a protective aluminum jacket, together with a cartridge and a needle. Instructions, in symbolic language, explain the origin of the spacecraft and indicate how the record is to be played. The 115 images are encoded in analog form. The remainder of the record is in audio, designed to be played at 16-2/3 revolutions per minute. It contains the spoken greetings, beginning with Akkadian, which was spoken in Sumer about six thousand years ago, and ending with Wu, a modern Chinese dialect. Following the section on the sounds of Earth, there is an eclectic 90-minute selection of music, including both Eastern and Western classics and a variety of ethnic music.

Ann Druyan Celebrates Voyager's 35th Anniversary
In 2012, Carl Sagan's collaborator and widow, Ann Druyan, recorded this eloquent and passionate greeting for the Planetary Society's celebration of the Voyager mission. Ann served as Creative Director for the creation of the Golden Record carried by both Voyager spacecraft.

"COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey" premieres today!
I grew up watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos television series. It is one of the reasons I started to love science. It's so good to see a follow-up to the documentary that inspired me so much as a kid. I can't wait to watch the new series!
"COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey" builds on the original drama of the first series. So, in this new series, our host/narrator, Neil deGrasse Tyson, will take us on another journey, this one enhanced by all we learned since. — Ann Druyan, Writer/Executive Producer
Congratulations to the creators Ann Druyan and Steven Soter, and the new production team: Brannon Braga (EP/Director), Neil deGrasse Tyson (presenter), Alan Silvestri (composer), Mitchell Cannold, and Seth MacFarlane (executive producer) who brought Cosmos back to television.
COSMOS premieres tonight on +FOX, +National Geographic, and 200+ channels in 181 countries at 9:00 PM ET.

Mike Massimino, NASA astronaut
LeVar Burton, actor, Star Trek: Next Generation
Wil Weaton, actor, Star Trek: Next Generation
Tim Ferris, Producer of the Golden Record
Nick Sagan, son of Carl Sagan and speaker on the Golden Record
Janet Sternberg, Portuguese speaker on the Golden Record
Voyager 1
Distance from Earth
18,999,000,666 KM

Roundtrip Light Time from the Sun
35:12:27
hh:mm:ss
Voyager 1's distance from the Earth and the Sun in astronomical units (AU) and kilometers (km). Note: Because Earth moves around the sun faster than Voyager 1 is traveling from Earth, the distance between Earth and the spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of the year.
