Quotes
Narrator: It is a world full of fear and worry for many of us, but nature is reasonably kind and goodwill is a common human trait. There is beauty, lawfulness, and progress, all of which appeals to man the thinker if not always to man the animal. However, ignorance, superstition, and loyalty to myths have darkened our views of the universe. Fancy how far we might have gone if we had not been shackled by mythology.

A timeless animation of search for life elsewhere

Carl Sagan would have been proud of this movie. Its animated format leads from the physics and biology of life, to the possibility of life elsewhere. It is based upon the book of the same title by Harlow Shapley, a famous American astronomer. It is too bad that it was never released to video, because it is still relevant today.
