Description
This programme is an evolving study of how scientists have uncovered the structure of the Universe. It ranges from Emmanuel Kant's early speculations that there may be galaxies exterior to our own ...galaxy to Edwin Hubble's observations of these exterior galaxies. These observations were made using the world's largest optical telescopes and current research using the modern telescopes shows that our Universe consists of millions of galaxies which expand to the farthest reaches of space and time. The programme includes this recent research by visiting the observatory on Palomar Mountain which is conducting this research.
