Astronomy Copernicus
A documentary about the history of astronomy?
I remember watching a documentary about the history of human astronomy, that included everything from the ancient greeks/mayans/chinese to Galileo, Kepler, Copernicus and to more modern times of Einstein, Hawking etc.
I remembered that this was the first episode of the History Channel series “The Universe”, but apparently i was wrong, as i cant find any information about it being part of that series.
Im really anxious to watch it again, and i remember watching it in August 2007, even though it may or may not be much older than that. But the main thing in it was a systematic account of the history of human astronomy, and if it helps, i remember distinctly that there was a part about the people who found the first extra-solar planets, and about they almost gave up on their search…..
If anyone would know the one im talking about, id be really greatful
don’t know if this will help but you may get some information –
