It was from HEAVEN AND HELL by Vangelis.  My copy of the album shows
the following information:

Vangelis, Heaven and Hell. RCA AFL1-5110 Stereo (1975).
Recorded at Nemo Studios, London, September 1975.

As I recall, when the album was sold in large numbers following the
premiere showings of COSMOS it bore a sticker reading "Contains Theme
Music from the Hit PBS Series COSMOS with Carl Sagan."
