Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The cosmos is the universe, especially if regarded as an orderly or harmonious system. Sometimes the term 'cosmos' is considered to be only the observed universe, while the term "universe" refers to all that exists whether it has been discovered or not. 'Cosmos' is the "known universe." The word is derived from Greek. (compare; Multiverse) Cosmos: A Personal Voyage was a thirteen-part television series produced by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan. The book that accompanied the series is simply called Cosmos. Cosmos was the generic name given to a series of earth-orbiting satellites by the Soviet Union. Most are suspected of being military reconnaissance satellites. The New York Cosmos were a professional soccer club based in New York. Financial difficulties led to their disbanding in 1985. (This word is the plural of cosmo, in contrast with the first word cosmos above, which is singular.) See also Cosmos (flower).
