BBC series The Story of Science - The Universe

Overall rating 4 out of 54 (2 ratings)

Last updated 27 October 2012, created 20 February 2011, viewed 6,060

Fantastic programme about how science has learned more about the universe. It starts with the Ancient Greeks and the concept of the earth being the Centre of the Universe and moves on to the Hubble Telescope. On a personal note, I would have liked more than a passing reference to other cultures as H More…indu astronomers had the sun at the centre of the universe thousands of years ago - and the Arab astronomers learned from them when the Mogul empire extended into India, but for what it sets out to cover it does a good job. It also introduces the Big Bang.
