The Sky at Night

Name: The Sky at Night S28E6 - Cooking the Elements
Uploaded: 1984-05-20
Description: Most astronomers believe that the universe began with a big bang, perhaps 15,000-million years ago, and that all the familiar elements have since been built up out of the original hydrogen by being 'cooked' inside stars which have long since exploded. Patrick Moore talks to Dr John Beckman of Queen Mary College about these early days of the universe, and how it has developed.
