I'm Bill Moyers. It's good to have your ear. This week on Moorers & Company.

It's been almost 35 years since PBS premiered one of its most successful series of all time.

Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Many of you may remember, as I do, his elegant exposition of the universe.

Some part of our being knows this is where we came.

We long to return.

And we can, because the cosmos is also within us.

We're made of star stuff.

We are a way of the cosmos to know itself.

Over 600 million people in more than 60 countries have now watched Cosmos. But in the decades

since, the universe has kept moving, literally, moving in every direction, and so has science. And that's why Cosmos

is returning this spring, this time on National Geographic Channel and Fox TV.

It's time to get going again.

Our guide is the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, America's most popular scientist, the unabashed defender

of knowledge over superstition, and clearly the rifle air to Carl Sagan's curiosity and charisma.

So, fasten your seatbelt for a whole new interstellar journey through tens of millions of years and hundreds

of millions of miles to the farther reaches of outer space.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the

American Museum of Natural History here in New York, where he narrates a breathtaking new show titled

Dark Universe.

I took my 12-year-old grandson to see it over the holidays, and we were mesmerized.

Imagine trillions of stars, 100 billion galaxies, and light traveling 100 million years

before reaching us here on Earth.
