Explores the study of space through the use of optical radio telescopes, satellites and computer modelling. Shows how astronomers use different language technologies to develop a picture of the universe....
Alan Wood of NASA says scientists on the Viking mission have conceded there is a possibility of life forms in the soil on Mars. These are subject to experiments, but the chance of life is high. Equipment...
Unidentified male speaker on the use of space telescopes (or a particular space telescope, possibly Hubble?) to observe planets and black holes. Male interviewer not identified.
From high above Earth’s atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can see both nearby and distant objects. The images captured by the telescope have bought a new clarity to our understanding of deep space....
Looks at 20th-century advances in physics and astronomy that have led to greater knowledge about the universe. Explores the contributions of Hale, Leavitt, and Hubble, together with the new physics of space,...
Patrick Moore on the 28-inch refracting telescope at the Royal Observatory. He talks about how it is one of the largest telescopes in the world, how long it has been there, the groundbreaking things it has...
Dr Stuart Sharrock of the journal Nature, on the physical makeup of Saturn and Jupiter. He comments on NASA’s plan to send recordings (greetings, music and natural sounds) up with spacecraft Voyager 1 and...
Looks at some attempts to explain the observed phenomena of cosmic jets emaning from stars and from galaxies. Considers some of the techniques used by astronomers to image the jets and speculates on their...
Briefly describes the origins of the solar system and introduces comets by describing their place among the planets and asteroids orbiting the sun. Nuclei of proto-comets, consisting of stony material and...
Shows how the most dramatic phenomena that we see on the surface (photosphere) of the sun, such as sunspots and flares, are produced by still enigmatic invisible magnetic forces. Some of the most violent...
