Seeing the Beginning of Time
This documentary follows astronomers on an ambitious quest to look back toward the very beginning of the universe. Building giant new telescopes and harnessing enormous computing power, they aim to capture light that has travelled for billions of years. The film explains how peering deep into space is also a way of peering back in time. Awe-inspiring and clearly told, it reveals the tools and dreams driving modern cosmology.
