The grand design - Malcolm Longair 1990 Christmas Lectures 1/5
In his first lecture Malcolm Longair explores the modern picture of the Universe. This was recorded on 1 Dec 1990. The first thing we have to do is establish what it is we have to explain. What is the modern picture of the Universe? We have to become familiar, first of all, with the different range of sizes and distances in the Universe. We therefore begin with a guided tour of the Universe which takes us from our own backyard to the very edges of the Universe.
