Apollo 13 is a true documentary that plays out as a Sci-Fi adventure story. It clearly shows how things go wrong and how courage and skill can override disaster.
The Galaxy Zoo; The physical structure of the Galaxies hold the clues on how stars form, die and recycled anew. We will explore how gravity interactions occur with collisions on a galactic scale.
