Planets: 1: The Earth as a Planet

on BBC Two England

The Royal Institution Annual Christmas Lectures to Young People.
A series of six programmes

Professor Carl Sagan invites his young audience to examine Planet Earth as though they were visitors from a distant civilisation. First as though through a telescope, then from a spacecraft fly-by, an orbiter and finally a lander, Sagan shows how fascinating and extraordinarily beautiful our planet looks from space.
