I always love seeing Tyson explain the universe. Once he gets going on a topic he becomes so passionate and animated that I can't help but be enthralled by it all.

There is no other human on this planet I could listen to endlessly like Neil.

God, I love this man. I hope I can meet him someday and shake his hand for all the wonderful work he's done in the name of science.

This video alone is enough to convince me that Neil is the perfect fit for the new Cosmos. Just listen to him, he is such a vivid storyteller of a topic that is very hard for the general public to grasp.

Finally, a good interviewer!

He's so amazing. He starts so collected and calm and when he gets super excited and into something he gets so animated.

30 people still think the earth is 6000 years old

As small and insignificant as we are in the mind-boggling immensity of the universe, our brains are the most complex object in that universe (that we know of). That's pretty flattering to a person's ego.

I always like watching the cosmos reruns. It reminds me of my childhood, watching it on PBS when I was around 9 or so. Sagan awakened my love of the stars as a little child. Thank you. You gave me the universe, I cannot possibly thank you enough.

Love this guy...follows Sagan's ability to make science approachable... if my mind were big enough i'd love to be an astrophysicist, but guess I'll settle for my computer job :-)

I was completely fangirling over the Cosmos trailer. Oh dear, I just want to squeal with joy! Finally a show both epic and educational: starring one of my childhood heroes.

Carl Sagan is one of the most amazing people ever to exist.

I must have watched Carl Sagan's Cosmos dozens of times. Excellent! Looking forward to this continuation by Neil...........

Neil is an amazing speaker, and Bill is a great interviewer. Excellent show.

Neil is one of the coolest guys alive.

"The humblest person in this world is the astrophysicist." -Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist (it's ironic, get it?)

"So the universe will end not with with a bang but with a whimper and not in fire but in ice." oh the poetry ;p

Tx Dr Neil de Grasse Tyson for keeping Carl Sagan's memory alive ~

Looking forward to the new show!

I had never watched this show before. Bill Moyers is an incredible interviewer. Absolutely terrific stuff.

I am so excited to see the new "Cosmos". I hope it inspires a new love for science in this country which has fallen to respect superstition more than science.

Would absolutely love to talk to him. Incredible mind. Loved this video. Thank you.

Loving the new show. I've been following Neil for years and I'd been perplexed as to why he didn't already have his own program and show. He's done so well with Star Talk and now with Cosmos, he's probably the most successful spokesman for science this generation since Bill Nye

What a vivid storyteller of a so difficult and incomprehensible topic - watch the video and understand what little we in fact understand of a small part of what's out there ... fantastic video !

This is a great show. I love watching stuff like this and learning where we came from!

This show is FREAKING AMAZING!! Even though it's not really new information to me, I still love watching it. Great writing and a big budget - the show's amazing!

1st experience with Neil, love it! thanks man!

Can't wait for the new Cosmos

"we are made of star stuff"...i sure hope Neal uses that term in the new series

This is a really wonderful interview.

Excellent interview!

Great interview,and the new cosmos series is awesome!

18:50 is where my mind was blown....

The ending was just beautiful.

That was a really excellent interview

About damn time!! I've missed Dr. Tyson since he left "NOVA Science Now".

Skip the intro and ads, show starts as 1:22. Skip previews and interview preface, NdGT interview begins at 3:46.

Really great interview.

At 15:20 Neil says there are about 100 billion stars in the universe. Doesn't he mean stars in our galaxy? (Or galaxies in our universe?)

Top two things i am looking forward to.. 1. The James Webb telescope. 2. And of coarse the cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson! :) Tyson is the perfect person to do an update on Carl Sagans Cosmos.

I'm so exited for this !

i had cried when u launched me on this great adventure. I fell something that speechless. One day, i will meet you, my hero.

I watched and LOVED it!!

Neil is going to be hosting a re-booted Cosmos? HELL YES!!!

He was blushing so much in the intro....hahaha he loved it.

I can't wait to have my mind blown.Watching Bill Moyers interview NdT was a treat.

Wow, dynamic! Can not wait for his show!! : )

can't wait for this!

When is this show launching? And where to wacth it?

What really blows my mind about the accelerating expansion of the universe is at first you imagine it as galaxies hurtling in space... But, after learning about it, you realize it's happening everywhere, the gaps between the molecules, atoms and subatomic particles in your hands, body and the screen you are viewing this in is getting larger and larger, not at a constant rate, but an accelerating rate.

AWESOME STUFF......see going on O&A got you a few new fans.....well done Neil

These new Cosmos series are incredible!!

I thoroughly enjoyed learning about astronomy. I worked in the library after high school and read every book on astronomy they had, all five of them! Now remember this was about 19 or 57 so I'm not sure if we had every book that was available or whatever the library and subway would like to read. I knew I wanted to be an astronomer. Unfortunately, I did not know how much college cost, and when I did realize what it cost I realized I did not have enough money saved up. At that time I earn $.50 an hour and saved as much as I could. I realize that my parents did not have a lot of money so I had to figure out how to get past high school with a little bit of money I had, henceforth I went to nursing school which cost a lot less. I still would like to be an astronomer.

love listening to neil speak brothers deep!!!!

As a kid the original tied with Life On Earth as my favorite show.

Amazing interview.... even if the end part about the universe going out in a cold whimper was a bit ominous haha.

Years ago Moyers series of interviews with modern philosopher whose name I can't recall turn me of off Moyers program, but Over time I gravitated bask. I think interviews like this is why.

They did an awesome job with the new Cosmos! It was bad ass!

The new cosmos is amazing and it shows as Neil explains everything with passion.

Just saw the first episode of the new Cosmos. Freaking great! Amazing (I had to vent my feelings somewhere :D ).

Wish I would have had him as a professor when I was in college. He explains it in terms that most of us can follow.

Where is the next clip?

Neil is an excellent communicator of science for our generation. He realizes the importance of scientific literacy, and his enthusiasm for the subject is unrivaled.

Science and the arts, humans at their best. Religion and politics, humans at their worst.

Neil is great in this film its impossible to say better and do more i love him

Food for thought* The gravity in the observable universe does not even equal to a fraction of the percentage of the energy that was caused by the big bang. Like Neil said, its like throwing a ball in the air; gravity will slow it down.. but say you put an unfathomable amount of energy into throwing that ball, gravity would have an effect but the energy that was put forth would be too immense for gravity to have its full effect.

I'd like to believe that before the universe ever ended in a "whimper" we will have attained a level of mastery over the mechanics of reality great enough to simply create new space, or even a new universe.

This is the first I've heard of "The Cosmos" returning. =D Good for Dr. Tyson he deserves it.

can't think of a better person, astrophysicist, like mr deGrase tyson, to be the one filling the shoes of mr c sagan, my hero. i'm sure you will be very, very succesful, mr deGrase.

The Hayden Planetarium is the reason I'll be visiting America for the first time some time soon.

Watching this at half speed is the best

So, I'm going through my 'Watch later' list, and this video came up again. Now that I watch it again, it kind of scares me.. This beautiful man, has the charisma, that I find hard to deny. In the hands of a fundamentalist... I guess I'll leave it at that.

can someone ask Neil why the spaceship in his show was making a swooshing sound when it was going through space. what would Dr. Kakalios say?

brilliant man! Great mind and soul!

Neil is the next Carl Sagan. I can't wait to watch this. We still look up to the sky like when our ancestor first did. Now It's our time to looks to space and into the galaxy's. I fell like we are the first humans given way for our future descendants to reflects it on. Their descendants will than look to the Universe and so on.

Awesome TV!

I agree that Tyson is the only person who could pull this off today, but the clips I've seen so far don't impress me much. Cheesy. Way too dependent on flashy graphics.

Dr. Tyson is amazing! I can't wait to watch the new Cosmos.

Thanks Mr DeGrasse وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾ وَالْأَرْ‌ضَ فَرَ‌شْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾ وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُ‌ونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

I wish I'd met Carl Sagan when I was 17!

I remember standing on the porch with my sister looking up at the stars and the Moon and sang to her someday we will go to the moon. That was probably about 1954.

Here is my theory about Dark "Matter" involving String Theory: There are subatomic particles that relate to the 4 major forces (Gravity, ElectroMagnetism, Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces). For example, the photon relates to ElectroMagnetism. According to String Theory, these particles are made of Strings. Most of these strings are stitched to the fabric of Space-time, but the graviton string might form a loop. I am not a physicist, I just saw this on an Episode of Nova. But here is what I infer: if the graviton is a loop, it is not bounded to our universe. It could potentially roam freely into another universe via another dimension. So this is what Dark Matter is: 1. Matter in a parallel universe has gravity. 2. The gravitons controlling that gravity slip into our universe. 3. We have gravity somewhere it seems it shouldn't. The whole process can be repeated vice versa: Our universe has matter, which has gravity, which slips into their universe, and now they have Dark "Matter".

Cool stuff!

I love Tyson more than words can say

3:50 for Neil

I had the pleasure of meeting Sagan

god i admire this man. I haven't given astronomy a chance for many reasons which he stated; i was scared. But he gives me this different perspective from which to approach the universe. I'm definitely going to begin my studies on the universe.

This Cosmos is a wake-up call, for you, and me. To strive towards a bettter understanding of existentialism. A call for all humanity to come together, and focus on science. The next step in evolution.

this guy constantly blows my mind

Sagan would be proud of Neil

space rip is a mind blower

I love this man. He must have had one heck of a science teacher growing up.

It's crazy how Neil degrasse feels the passion to the Universe!! I love this guy!

i wish it has the same essence as the original series, where carl sagan , with the limited cgi, made its viewers imagine, because imagination is far more powerful than any CGI, we dont need force fed scenarios, we need more imagination wich will make our brains THINK! good luck with the series :)

You Sir are indeed THE BADASS.

Yes, I am one with the Universe. I am the Universe and the Universe is me.

Yess, "The [universe] will end, not with a bang, but with a whimper" - T.S. Eliot

akd1008 you're wrong. I assemble bicycles furniture and grills for a large discount chain. Just because I earn my living turning screws doesn't limit my appreciation for Mahler or the wonders of the cosmos. I also am an amateur trumpet player, have over 10 years or university studies. People are not what thay do for money.

The inevitable sucessor to Sagan.
