BBC R4 - Four more space related documentaries

________________________

BBC R4 - Mars Rovers

Broadcast November 22, 2006

BBC Blurb

Peter Evans meets the pioneering duo who have surpassed all

of NASA’s expectations in our quest to find life on Mars.

The Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, are about

to celebrate their third anniversary on the martian surface,

whichis remarkable given the fact they were only expected to

last three months.

Now well into middle age, and feeling a little bit arthritic,

they are still providing scientists on Earth with extraordinary

insights into the Martian environment and providing clues that

may finally answer the question of whether life exists on Mars.

Peter also talks to the scientists who are designing the robot

explorers of the future and have been inspired by Spirit and

Opportunity's incredible success.

BBC R4 - Dish Of The Day

Broadcast June 13, 2003

BBC Blurb

Jodrell Bank

In 1949, a recently demobbed radar engineer called Bernard Lovell

borrowed some army surplus equipment and set up a radio telescope

in a muddy field, just outside Manchester, called Jodrell Bank. The

experiments, originally designed to last a few weeks, have continued

for nearly five decades.

Almost immediately, Jodrell’s experiments began to transform our knowledge

of the universe. But it was in 1957 that “The Big Ear” attracted the

world’s fascination and awe. That was the year the Soviet Union launched

Sputnik - the first man-made object ever to orbit the Earth. It caused a

sensation and it was Jodrell Bank - the only man-made object capable of

tracking Sputnik - which confirmed to the world that the space race had

begun. This event transformed the fortunes of British Space Science,

assured the future of Jodrell Bank and, more immediately, rescued

Bernard Lovell from prison and penury.

BBC R4 - High Energy Universe

Broadcast May 16, 2007

BBC Blurb

A revolution has been taking place in the world of cosmology.

Cosmic rays bombard the earth every day, but until now, where

the enigmatic particles come from and what causes them remained

if not a exactly a mystery, then mainly theoretical.

Peter Evans travels to Heidelberg to meet the physicists who

have opened up the wild west of astrophysics by building their

own telescope & getting results most scientists can only dream of.

BBC R4 - Galaxy Formation

Broadcast November 19, 2003

BBC Blurb

Peter Evans explores one of the greatest challenges facing

astronomers today - how do galaxies form? Why aren’t the stars

wandering around the universe by themselves?

Astronomers are now piecing together the story of the formation

of our Milky Way. New telescopic technology that peers into the

far reaches of the universe is revealing that galaxies are the

result of dramatic collisions and cannibalistic activity.
