BBC Two - Universe, Series 1, The Sun: God Star

Prof Brian Cox explores our cosmic origins. How did stars bring meaning to the cosmos?

Since the first star lit up the universe, they have been engines of creation. Professor Brian Cox reveals how, ultimately, stars brought life and meaning to the universe.

Professor Brian Cox begins his epic exploration of the cosmos with a hymn to the great luminous bodies that bring light and warmth to the universe: the stars.

It is estimated that there are two hundred trillion stars in the universe, each playing their part in an epic story of creation - a great saga that stretches from the dawn of time, with the arrival of the first star, through diverse generations until the arrival of our own star, the sun, and a civilisation that has grown up in its light.
