Dawn of the Space Age |
Sky Quest |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| From
the launch of Sputnik to the magnificent lunar landings and
beyond! We cover the great race between the Soviet Union and the United States to see who would be first on the Moon. Be immersed and overwhelmed with this most accurate and beautiful reconstruction of our first steps into space. Who were these people who risked their lives to win the race? Witness their drive, their passion, and their perseverance to explore, in Dawn of the Space Age. |
Come along with a young woman on her personal quest to find a special place in the night sky, from her childhood adventures on Mars (via a cardboard rocket), to the discovery of her "birthday star" that led her to become an astronomer and build a mountain observatory to further her lifelong fascination with the heavens. She shares her telescope views of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with us, helps us find stars and constellations, and shows us how everyone, even people in big cities, can enjoy the beauty of the night sky. |

a tour of the cosmos with astrophysicist Dr. Stacy Palen. The show
begins here on Earth, and then shifts to the most distant reaches
of the Universe, as revealed by WMAP. As we travel forward in time
to the Solar System, NASA’s great observatories reveal the more
local Universe, in all its astonishing beauty. This leisurely
cruise through space and time is sure to please! Contains elements of many state astronomy core curriculum requirements, including characteristics of the planets, the life cycle of stars, and the size and contents of the Universe. |
