I want to read Cosmos finally, but If there is anything outdated in the original, it would be nice to know as I read in 2022. I would otherwise take everything presented as factual as true, and am reading not just for enjoyment but to increase my knowledge, perhaps something I might discuss with others. Assuming there are small or glaring errors or things lacking context which we now know, does anyone know where I could find such information? Or current criticisms/debates of facts. Anything that Sagan presents as unknown or ambiguous is perfectly fine, this only presents to things that he might not have written as such in 2022. Thanks.
Hi,
I read the book a long time ago.
There is a posting on Quora about this topic that might be worth checking out (I can't post links):
It says that there's no mention of dark energy or matter, which is a massive omission. Distant galaxies are accelerating away and I think this discovery is fairly new.
Happy reading,
Carl

Dark Matter, Dark Energy were not big theories when Dr. Sagan wrote his opus, Cosmos. Nor is Cosmos an encyclopedia. Rather, an introduction to the science of astronomy and physics.
Consider it an outgrowth of a process as the Universe grows in awareness of itself.
We are in the Universe as the universe is within us.
