The Library of Congress announced Wednesday that, thanks to MacFarlane’s generosity, it has acquired the personal papers of the late scientist and astronomer, who spoke to mass audiences about the mysteries of the universe and the origins of life. While MacFarlane never owned Sagan’s papers, he covered the undisclosed costs of donating them to the library.

“All I did was write a check, but it’s something that was, to me, worth every penny,” MacFarlane told The Associated Press by phone from Los Angeles. “He’s a man whose life’s work should be accessible to everybody.”

MacFarlane — creator of “Family Guy,” ‘’American Dad!” and “The Cleveland Show” — met Sagan’s widow and collaborator, Ann Druyan, at an event a few years ago that brought together Hollywood screenwriters and directors with scientists. They agreed to collaborate on a follow-up to “Cosmos,” Sagan’s acclaimed 1980 miniseries, with MacFarlane serving as producer. Astrophysicst Neil deGrasse Tyson will host the series, which is scheduled to begin production this fall.

The papers — contained in more than 800 filing-cabinet drawers — include correspondence with other scientists, drafts of Sagan’s academic articles and screenplay drafts for the movie “Contact,” which was based on Sagan’s novel. Also part of the collection: his grade-school report cards and a drawing he made as a child about the future of space exploration.

Good for him.

He is doing a remake of Cosmos. That should be cool.

Michio Kaku: "Eventually Pluto was no longer considered a planet and Uranus became the furthest planet from the sun."

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "You think that's bad. Remember when Mickey's dog Puto checked out the rings of your anus."
