As a kid in the early 80s, the original 'Cosmos' by (the late) Carl Sagan made quite an impression on me but not because I was interested in astronomy or such but because it was 'different' from the other documentaries that was being shown during that time. Firstly, the special effects during the space sequence was very 'state of the art' for those times. Secondly, Carl Sagan had a distinctive and enthusiastic style of talking which could make even the most boring topic interesting. Yes, I was weird as a kid :) but weren't we all? Anyways, amongst the few strange things that I remember from my childhood (which is very blurry to me now) was an episode of Cosmos that had Carl Sagan talking about a crab with a human face on its shell. Thanks to technological advances and YouTube :) I was able to find the clip with that scene on it again which I would like to share here now. Although I was very fond of the original series, I have not seen the new version with Neil deGrasse Tyson yet. Enjoy...
