Around The World, Around The Sky

Synopsis

This film is a journey around the world and around the sky. Where exactly are we in the universe? How do planets, stars and galaxies form? What holds them together? What is a White Dwarf? A Red Giant? A Black Hole?

This film sets out to meet those asking and answering these questions - astronomers. We witness them in their observatories in the four corners of the world, in extraordinary sites, in the middle of the desert, on mountain peaks, on islands, at the bottom of the seas, and buried beneath the Earth. We see them observing the depths of the sky in India, Japan, China, Europe, and North and South America - and even from space.
