În 1958, o clasă de elevi stochează într-o capsulă a timpului desenele realizate în timpul unei ore de curs. Unul singur era deosebit. Cel realizat de o fetiță și care părea a fi o înșiruire de cifre fără sens. Cincizeci de ani mai târziu, capsula este scoasă la lumină, iar ce se află înăuntrul ei va schimba total viața profesorului John Koestler, a fiului său Caleb și totodată lumea pe care o știm.
The life of astrophysics Margherita Hack, from curious child to unconventional girl at the direction of the Trieste Astronomical Observatory.
Astrophysicists show how black holes might hold answers to how the universe evolved, leading to life on Earth and, ultimately, the human race.
what is everything, and what is nothing? Professor Jim Al-Khalili explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness. EVERYTHING: what the universe might actually look like and the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos. NOTHING: science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. The quantum world of the super-small shaped the vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim Al-Khalili can prove it.
An unemployed astrophysicist finds a job of a docker at a grocery store, where he falls in love with a street-wise saleswoman in the produce department. But the groom runs away at the wedding reception.
A team of international scientists attempt to document the first-ever image of a black hole.
The coordinates of an old satellite from India, Mihira, are lost with the potential for it to wreak havoc with communications worldwide. Astronaut Dev’s life was turned upside down five years ago and he now teaches science at a government school. He’s brought in to fix the satellite but is that the only reason he agrees to come back?
A long time ago, years before Elon Musk reached for the stars with his Space X project, a young man had his own childhood dream about a journey into space. This documentary tells the fantastic story of German astrophysicist Lutz Kayser who developed the world's first private space company. He did this under the curious and concerned eyes of secret services around the world.
Man has always sought to seek further afield. After the seafaring explorers of the 16th century, 21st century cosmologists today navigate more celestial oceans, with each mission providing an ever-broader and more impressive cartography of our surroundings. At the avant garde of modern technology, these strange travellers are actually immobile, and their vessels are powerful and spectacular telescopes, on the Earth or in space, constantly widening the limits of our knowledge and giving form to our dreams of infinity. From Hawaii to Australia, via South Africa and China, we set out on an incredible scientific and human adventure to visit the planet's greatest cosmic exploration centres to discover the new challenges involved in understanding the universe. A journey on Earth and in the heavens that will take your breath away!
Franck is an astrophysicist. His job is to perform laser drillings with the Lynx, an exploration rover on Mars. Assisted by his collegues, he spends the night looking for traces of organic life by examining rocks. In the morning, he will meet with his son who has been traveling around the world after staying with his mother.
An outward look into the universe, as scientists challenge traditional planetary thinking, and reveal the existence of unknown worlds: exoplanets.
