Via the Fox Network, Neil deGrasse Tyson is hosting an update to the original Cosmos series presented by Carl Sagan in 1980. Airing on a regular network where it will receive a much wider audience, we hope it is wildly successful and fuels interest in science in general and astronomy in particular.

Our local FOX affiliate in Milwaukee, WITI channel 6.1 came to our observatory in New Berlin to record some live segments and some for later broadcast, all to help promote the new Cosmos series. Here's one featuring our President, Scott Jamieson. And another more general one.
