So, How Many Episodes of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey Are There, Anyway?

Okay, so you’re wondering how many episodes there are of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Fair enough! It’s a fantastic series, and you’re probably itching to dive in. Well, the answer is a neat and tidy 13 episodes.

Think of it as a modern-day successor to Carl Sagan’s groundbreaking Cosmos: A Personal Voyage from way back in 1980. This time around, we’ve got Neil deGrasse Tyson as our guide, taking us on a mind-blowing journey through the universe.

I remember when it first aired on March 9, 2014. It was quite the event! They actually premiered it across ten different channels all at once. Pretty cool, right? The rest of the episodes then landed on Fox, with National Geographic Channel giving us a second chance to watch, complete with some extra behind-the-scenes goodies. The whole adventure wrapped up on June 8, 2014.

Now, like the original, A Spacetime Odyssey sticks to that lucky number 13. You’ll see familiar elements, too, like the iconic “Ship of the Imagination” and the “Cosmic Calendar,” which really puts things into perspective. But this isn’t just a retread. Oh no! We’re talking updated science, seriously impressive computer graphics, and animation that’ll make your jaw drop.

Each episode tackles some seriously big questions. We’re talking the origin of life itself, the mysteries of light and gravity, the building blocks of everything – atoms! And, of course, the age-old question: are we alone? Plus, it doesn’t shy away from tough topics like climate change, which is super important.

If you’re looking to own the whole shebang, it hit Blu-ray and DVD on June 10, 2014. Perfect for a weekend binge, if you ask me!
