How Big Is Our Universe?

Overview

In 1977, Charles and Ray Eames, hugely influential American designers, released one of the most elegant and creative pieces of science communication of modern times - Powers of Ten. It took the viewers on a journey from a picnic blanket near Lake Michigan to the edge of the known Universe, and back again. Over 40 years later, as a humble homage to this groundbreaking film, Professor Brian Cox takes a similar journey through time and space, explaining how our understanding of the Universe has changed along the way.
