Solar System
Last night watched three episodes of Prof Brian Cox's new TV series Solar System, with my daughter who was completely gripped. For those who are unaware, Cox is a British academic and former rock star who presents popular physics programmes in a style reminiscent of Sir David Attenborough. They mix actual footage of natural phenomena with CGI and are quite literally out of this world. Especially when he reminds us that our star system is just one of thousands in our small galaxy alone . .
Wonderful and terrifying at the same time. My daughter was gripping me tightly by the time we had finished, without really knowing why, and ended up spending the night in my bed . . one way of scaling things back to human dimensions 🙂
It's a BBC production, so viewers in other countries may be able to see it via their public broadcasting services. Try not to get Brian Cox the physicist mixed up with Brian Cox the actor, who first played the role of Hannibal Lecter 👍
