BLAST on the BBC

Tonight (Wednesday January 7th) at 10.00pm you can catch a documentary about BLAST on BBC Four. The Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submilimetre Telescope has an interesting story behind it and luckily the brother of the head investigator is a film maker. He followed the international science team literally around the world as they tried to map star-forming regions and to find the origins of the galaxies.
