The Royal Institution Annual Christmas Lectures to Young People.
2: The Outer Solar System and Life The Big Planets - Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus - used to be thought too far from the Sun, and thus too cold, to be possible sites for the evolution of life.
But Professor Carl Sagan , among other experts on the origin of life, has actually made a Jupiter atmosphere in his laboratory and in this lecture he explains that life on Jupiter is not out of the question. Knowledge of the mighty hydrogen-rich planets has already been transformed by spacecraft fly-bys: other probes, now in the design stage, may settle the question of life in the 1980s.

A documentary film by Robert Vas. If you are 25 years old on 2 June 1978 you were born on Coronation Day-one of 2,000 babies. The mayor will have marked the day when you came into a world of relative stability with a mug or a spoon. Some would call you special. As post-war reconstruction was well under way you will have tasted some of the good things-like a full stomach, an education, assured employment and the freedom to express yourself. These factors will have shaped your view of life, your feelings, your thinking.
This documentary impression looks at the lives of more than a dozen Coronation babies, from their earliest expectations to today's reality.
