Seven Ages of Starlight takes us on a journey through the life of stars Stars are at the heart of all life. Humans and all other life forms on our planet - from bacteria in the top of our atmosphere to the creatures in the darkest depths of our oceans - depend on our very own star, the sun. Much of the matter that makes up the known universe comes from stars and is put into motion by their enormous gravity. Even our planet and our bodies are made from stardust forged in the thermonuclear furnace of brightly burning stars.

Seven Ages of Starlight Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
trimmerb1234 Was a comedians famous catchphrase and here is what makes this popular science documentary so distinctively good. From the clear structure to the individual well-chosen contributors to the narrated script (uncredited), it was not just very lucid but engaging even compelling story-telling, the entire production done with artistry. The sense of awe, majesty and mystery which Patrick Moore's Sky at Night opening cleverly evoked, is the tone and standard yet does not compromise the solid science communicated throughout. It gives proper weight too to historic figures in astronomy using archive film clips. It is a demonstration and reminder of how science documentary-making can both be an art as well as science.I have to contrast this with the tendency to simply dispatch a (the?) popular TV scientist in a hire car to tour the USA, dropping in all over the place for a coffee and to listen with a camera crew over his shoulder.
