The most enlightening TV Series ever made

I have recently finished watching Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" TV series on Youtube (here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=92A4742FE9A6AA8C). It's mainly about astronomy and the planets and such, but there's so much more. Sagan begins by outlining a history of astronomy and how the discipline came to be studied and expanded. Eventually the series comes to address our place in the cosmos and how the human race plays a role in everything around us. It is a masterful fusion of science and art blended into one profound experience. I urge you all to watch it as it is universally applicable (literally) and contains one of the most passionate and dedicated scientists ever to walk this earth. I love science, and I love how Carl Sagan is able to explain it in a way that is both understandable for laymen and contemplative for the elite. I truly believe he was inspired to have an insatiable curiosity for the cosmos and how the universe really worked, and had the dedication to follow after that passion until the day he died.
