The National Geographic Channel will be showing Known Universe, a three-part special that will air on Sunday, February 15, from 8 to 11 p.m. (Check your local listings for your broadcast time).
The program will feature several people from Caltech: Michael Brown (Rosenberg Professor of Planetary Astronomy & Pluto Killer); Sean Carroll (senior research associate in physics); and astronomer Robert Hurt (Infrared Processing and Analysis Center).
Through a combination of current research data, cutting-edge computer graphics, and everyday examples, Known Universe aims to explain "the most mind-boggling aspects of our universe"—from the size of our solar system to the most powerful explosions, and the dynamic relationship among speed, time, distance, and gravity.
