The sun and the moon: they have always been companions to human cultures, the brightest points of orientation in the sky, and are among the oldest mysteries of mankind.
This DVD contains two documentaries about the two brightest lights in the sky:
- The Sun - a star in the universe: Unreachable, unspeakably hot, and yet the sun is the source of all life on our planet. This BBC documentary not only tells the story, but also shows footage from the SOHO solar probe and the US satellite TRACE - images of the sun as we have never seen it before...
- The Moon - Ruler of the Night: Our ancestors based their lives on the moon, and the tides are still visible proof of its enormous influence on Earth. With fascinating archive footage of the first moon landing, the latest research findings from NASA and interviews with people who want to turn their crazy moon plans into reality, this BBC documentary shows why Earth's satellite is suddenly of such great interest to humanity once again.
