Sorry for replying to an old thread, but just to let everyone know the last episode of this current Cosmos series will be shown on Fox Sunday 8th June at 9pm local time (i.e., tomorrow). I've not been able to watch every episode but have seen most of them and I think it's been pretty good. Tomorrow's episode will have a lot about Fritz Zwicky who certainly had a big influence on modern astronomy and some more stuff about Carl Sagan who hosted the original Cosmos series.
I started this thread in the hope there would be a bit more of a mention of the contribution the telescopes atop Mauna Kea have had to our understanding of the universe, our Galaxy and the solar system, but that hasn't happened yet. I get the impression this show will get a second season, so maybe next time. In any case, even for those of you who haven't watched the show so far, I do recommend watching Sunday's episode and then you can make up your mind if you want to see more!
