Introduction: Fred Watson
Astronomer-in-charge, Anglo-Australian Observatory
The night sky has had a profound influence on human thought across all the cultures of the world. It has inspired a rich and varied folklore that attempts to sum up our attitude to the sky and life on Earth. Even though humankind is now detached from the sky by urbanisation and light pollution, science provides us with an inspiring new picture of our surroundings in space. What does this modern "folklore" tell us about the origin and destiny of the Universe? Join Fred Watson of the Anglo-Australian Observatory as he explores these topics with stunning celestial images and inside information on our growing understanding of the Cosmos.
