The noted late astronomer Carl Sagan once said that we are, all of us, made of star-stuff.

But instead of just telling us that our atoms in our bodies were created in the furnace of long-dead stars, Sagan worked to show us - in simple terms - using what is likely one of the most easily accessible mediums of all time, television.

In the 13-part series Cosmos that first aired on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) in 1980, Sagan dutifully explained the history of our planet, the origin of life, the life cycle of stars and a host of other topics that cemented his name in the scientific lexicon.

Sagan himself died in 1996, but Cosmos survived and now - 25 years later - returns to television care of The Science Channel and Cosmos Studios. Digitally remastered and enhanced with fresh computer graphics unheard of at the time of its recording, Cosmos premieres once more tonight at 9 p.m. EDT (check local listings).
