Announcing the debut of 400 Years of the Telescope PBS documentary
A sweeping film celebrating four centuries of astronomy discoveries will make its debut on PBS when 400 Years of the Telescope airs in April (scheduled air date: Friday, April 10, check local listings). In 400 Year of the Telescope, Neil deGrasse Tyson takes viewers on a visually stunning journey from Galileo's first look at the cosmos in 1609, to today¹s thrilling quests to discover new worlds and glimpse the formation of the first stars after the Big Bang. With warmth and humor, the planet¹s top astrophysicists discuss momentous discoveries and how telescopes have changed our understanding of the universe. Looking into the future, viewers will learn of emergent telescopes that may detect life outside our solar system and allow humans to view the initial moments of the Big Bang.
