In this entertaining beginner's guide to the cosmos, Adam Hart-Davies brings us the latest news from the outer reaches of the universe. Reporting from places where space missions are being launched and new galaxies discovered, Adam explains how recent findings have enhanced our understanding of the universe.
Using sketches and photos he demonstrates in his unique way what we can do to prevent an asteroid impact and what aliens might see if they were watching our television signals.
How close are we to finding extraterrestrial life? What happened in the Big Bang? What is the ultimate fate of the universe? Travelling the world to interview scientists at the sharp end of astronomical research, Adam investigates the attempts to solve some of the most profound questions ever asked.
Accompanying a six-part series on BBC2, The Cosmos- A Beginner’s Guide takes us on a mind-bending journey, to the edge of the universe and the frontier of our understanding of the mysterious cosmos.
