How to watch ‘Cosmos: Possible Worlds’

About 40 years ago, Carl Sagan dazzled the imagination and inspired a new generation of aspiring scientists with Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. In 2014, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson continued educating audiences with Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Now, deGrasse Tyson is back to debut a new season with Cosmos: Possible Worlds.
