In what ways is Carl Sagan's Cosmos outdated?

I want to watch Cosmos again but I worry about its age -- what should I keep in mind when watching?

Pluto isn't a planet.

don't worry about that, just enjoy it :)

I won't be able to enjoy it as much if I am taking in outdated facts. I was just wondering what has been updated since.

Most of it is probably pretty accurate...cosmology hasn't made any huge leaps in a while (measurements of background gamma radiation and deep space telescopes aside).

I can't help but tear up when I watch Cosmos. :/
