The life and death of celestial bodies
Every star has its own exciting story to tell: from ancient red giants to spectacular supernovae, from mysterious black holes to our own sun – a star in the prime of its life.
This BBC documentary shows how closely we are connected to the celestial bodies and how they make our existence on Earth possible. For we are literally stardust, brought to life by the energy of our closest star, the Sun. The exploration of the stars has uncovered many secrets. About the universe and our place in it. Perhaps we will even be able to solve one of the greatest mysteries of science: how did the universe itself come into being?
The history of the stars explained through state-of-the-art imaging technology, amazing computer graphics and interviews with astronomers from around the world.
