"Pt. 1. Portrays the first attempts of human beings to interpret the character of the heavens. Explores how each society has peopled the heavens with shapes and patterns appropriate to its own time and place. Brings an understanding of the efforts of Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Pt. 2. Presents the processes of gradualism and catastrophism as they have affected the evolution of our universe, the solar system, and our planet earth. Discusses meteorites and comets, especially the Tunguska blast. The theories of Velikovsky and other theories about the planet Venus are presented."@en

"The first attempts of human beings to interpret the character of the heavens portrayed in the stars a kind of extension of the familiar world. Using myths and star charts from many ages and civilizations, Dr. Sagan explores how each society has peopled the heavens with shapes and patterns appropriate to its own time and place. A dramatic re-creation of Johannes Kepler's life and work brings an understanding of the efforts of Copernicus, Galileo, and Isaac Newton."@en
"[Volume] IV : Host Carl Sagan describes the interaction of two processes, gradualism and catastrophism, which he maintains are responsible for the evolution of our universe, solar system, and even life on earth. Dr. Sagan discusses meteorites and comets, especially the Tunguska blast, and introduces the concept of comparative planetology. The theories of Velikovsky and other theories about the planet Venus are presented. [Volume] V : Reviews man's fascination with Mars and theories about the planet, notably those of Percival Lowell. Uses special effects, elaborate models and actual photographs relayed from Mariner and Viking probes. Discusses the advances in our knowledge of Mars since the times of Wells, Lowell, and Goddard. Speculates on the future."
"Dr. Carl Sagan retraces the life of the last scientific astrologer, Johanes Kepler, and reveals how Kepler's insights led to knowledge of how the Moon and planets move in their elliptical orbits, and, ultimately, how to journey to them."

"In episode 3, Carl Sagan explores how different societies have interpreted the character of the universe and also highlights various contributions of Copernicus, Galileo ans Newton. In the 4th episode he describes the interaction of two processes, gradualism and catastrophism, which he maintains are responsible for the evolution of our universe, solar system, and even life on earth. Also included is a discussion of meteorites and comets along with an introduction to the concept of comparative planetology."@en

"The central theme underlying this episode is the interaction of two diametrically opposed processes--gradualism and catastrophism--which in concert are responsible for the evolution of our universe, our solar system, and life on our small planet. Using the Tunguska blast as a starting point, Dr. Sagan discusses meteorites and comets. A miniature solar system illustrates the hypotheses of Velikovsky, and theories about the planet Venus. The concept of comparative planetology is introduced."@en
