An astronomy programme not featuring Brian Cox? Is it possible?
Seven Ages of Starlight, Thursday, 25th October BBC4, 9pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00yb434
This is the epic story of the stars, and how discovering their tale has
transformed our own understanding of the universe.
Once we thought the sun and stars were gods and giants. Now we know, in a
way, our instincts were right. The stars do all have their own characters,
histories and role in the cosmos. Not least, they played a vital part in
creating us.
There are old, bloated red giants, capable of gobbling up planets in their
orbit; explosive deaths - supernovae - that forge the building blocks of
life; and black holes, the most mysterious stellar tombstones. And, of
course, stars in their prime, like our own sun.
Leading astronomers reveal how the grandest drama on tonight is the one
playing above our heads.
