Cosmos Episode 10: The Edge of Forever Part 3 of 7

Dr. Sagan leads us on some awesome trips — to a time when galaxies were beginning to form, to India to explore the infinite cycles of Hindu cosmology, and to show how humans of this century discovered the expanding universe and its origin in the big bang.

He disappears down a black hole and reappears in New Mexico to show us an array of 17 telescopes probing the farthest reaches of space.

I remember seeing this around the time it first aired. I was probably around 12 years old and I've always thought back on this as an amazing demonstration of how Sagan was able to casually throw around big ideas in ways that were easily understood by anyone. That was one of his greatest gifts. He's missed.

so Humason was a high-school dropout who talked like Thurston Howell from "Gilligan's Island" and helped discover the Big Bang?!?

joking aside -- this is a great series. RIP Carl Sagan.
