Documentaries

[Ryan1885]

Hi Everyone, I've got at least 4 weeks before I get my scope (if you'd met my wife you'd understand) so I'm trying to get my teeth into some documentaries to stimulate my mind before I get started. I've seen " Journey to the Edge of the Universe" and it's mega. Has anyone else got any good suggestions for inspirational documentaries that I can view online as sky on demand has nothing that I can find! Thanks

Regards Ryan

I see your in the UK THE SKY AT NIGHT is on at 7:30pm on BBC 4 & should be on iplayer after if you miss it, the clips on there site are good as well main site: http://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b006mk7h clips: http://www.bbc.co.uk.../b006mk7h/clips You could continue to watch it monthly as well.

There quite a few SKY AT NIGHTs on youtube as well: https://www.youtube....ube.TQ_RdCcvPXM theres a few on this channel https://www.youtube....stronomy/videos as well as some other docs I watched one recently called TIME SHIFT STAR MEN it was about amateur astronomers.

COSMOS is very good:

I like this to help learn the constellations & DSO:

not a lot of docs focus on what the amateur can see in the nights they just tell you how it thing in the universes work & are.

This Galileo:https://www.youtube....h?v=Lr_bQs4oXgU was quite good IIRC

Dramatised Space Race:

There are a fair few interesting docs on Youtube type "space" as you search option and away you go

Through the wormhole is worth a watch - more science based but you get to listen to morgan freeman narrating haha! Can be found on youtube.

"The Universe" can be very good. Sometimes you will come across an episode here and there thats more science fiction that fact though. The earlier seasons tend to be better I think. I repeatedly watch some of them over and over.
