Universal truths The series unravels puzzles
A new series The Universe will premiere on December 12 at 10 p.m. on History Channel. The channel employs “cutting-edge computer-generated imagery to recreate the moment it all began. The series brings distant planets and far
away stars up close allowing viewers to gaze at black holes and comets, and witness the birth and death of galaxies and solar systems,” say the makers.
The series begins with a two hour special titled Beyond the Big Bang tonight. Rajesh Sheshadri, Senior Vice President, Content and Communications, The History Channel India, says: “The Universe is a premiere series for the channel, enhanced further by Prof Yash Pal’s involvement. Together with Nehru Planetarium, we celebrate a stunning visual experience that showcases universe as one has never seen before. The series poses one of history’s greatest questions – Where did we come from? – and recreates that amazing moment when everything started.”
The Universe: Alien Galaxies will be telecast on December 19, while “The Universe: Spaceship Earth” will be telecast on December 26. “Alien Galaxies is takes the viewer through the “milky way, which consists of more than a billion stars, our sun being only one of them. Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to bring the universe down to earth to show what life would be like on other planets, and to imagine what life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres,” say the makers.
Spaceship Earth takes the viewers “through the formation of the third planet from the Sun. Galactic investigators will hunt for answers to some of man’s most puzzling questions. How was Earth created? What creatures hold clues to how life began? Where did the planet’s water come from? Why does Earth have the best ‘real estate’ for humans in the Universe? And what evil forces threaten its ultimate demise? From its early struggles with asteroids and comets to its current battles against global warming, the creation of Spaceship Earth is one of the most complex and controversial scientific detective stories of all time.”
All three episodes will be telecast at 10 p.m.
