From the BAFTA Best
Factual Series of 1971 a classic and visually exciting study of a supernova 'death star'.
The Crab Nebula
'The history of the Crab more closely resembles a tale of mystery and imagination than a sober scientific recital.'
When a leading physicist said this in 1961 even he could not have forecast the next ten years' twists and turns in the plot of this vintage detective story.
On a world-wide stage a series of astonishing discoveries about a single object in the sky reflect the whole of modern astronomy. The investigation begins in 1054 when Chinese astronomers recorded the cataclysmic destruction of a star the remains of which are now the Crab. It ends with a question: is this the death that makes all life possible? Narrator Paul Vaughan
A revealing insight into the work of the men and women who study the skies (DAILY TELEGRAPH) Fascinating (OBSERVER) Editor PETER GOODCHILD Written and produced by ALEC NISBETT
Horizon investigates the Crab Nebula, the remains of a star that exploded in the year 1054. The Crab gives astronomers a chance to see a supernova remnant evolve.
