The Sky at Night Temporada 46 Episodios 8 • Sub Español

Episodio 5

When the Space Age began with the launch of Sputnik in 1957, our view of the universe was very different. The far side of the Moon was still unseen, plants were thought to grow on Mars, and no rocket had escaped the gravitational pull of Earth. Since then, Man has walked on the Moon, sent robots to other worlds and probed far beyond the limits of our solar system towards the far reaches of the universe. For 45 years, The Sky at Night has charted science-fiction becoming science fact. In this special programme, Patrick Moore recalls the milestones that have changed our understanding of the Universe and our place within it.

In the second of this two-part special from Jodrell Bank, the Sky at Night explores the future of radio astronomy. Over the past 50 years radio astronomers have discovered quasars, pulsars and intergalactic travellers, many of which were found by Jodrell Bank. With the upgrading of the Lovell telescope and MERLIN array, radio astronomers hope they are on the threshold of new discoveries. An entirely new design of radio telescope is also being planned, with expectations that when it is built, more secrets of the Universe will be unlocked.
