Origins of the Universe

This program briefly introduces the geocentric view of the universe and the contributions of Kepler and Galileo before explaining the Big Bang.

The program also covers the concept of galaxies, Hubble and the "red-shift," quasars, red giants, white dwarfs, supernovas, and neutron stars. (28 minutes)
