Journey through the Milky Way
It is about you, me and the history of two hundred billion stars. Our solar system lies in a suburb of a vast celestial city, a colossal community of stars, bound together by gravity; the Milky Way galaxy. Today, astronomers are piecing together the evidence which is allowing them to see our galaxy in a new and exciting way, allowing us to take the Earth on an incredible journey through space and time to see how different neighbourhoods of our vast star city would appear if we could visit them close up. Stylishly shot and through intimate interviews which reveal the joy of exploration and revelation of scientific understanding, Journey Through the Milky Way will tell the story of our galaxy in a clear, dynamic and, above all, exciting way, giving an incredible insight into how it and everything within it came to be.
