Hold on to your bandwidth, cause this is a monster post. Cosmos: A Pesonal Voyage was a 13-part documentary series studying the origin of life and our place in the universe, produced in 1978 and 1979 in Los Angeles by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan and Steven Soter for PBS. The budget was huge for a public-television documentary at the time, clocking in at roughly $8.3 million US, with it being rumoured that the LA affiliate, KCET, went into heavy debt due to it’s production. But it all worked out in the end, with the documentary being a huge hit, winning an Emmy and Peabody Award and being broadcast in more than 60 countries by over 600 million people. Cosmos was the most widely watched series in the history of public television until the 1990′s Civil War documentary.

CERN is close to launching their latest experiment, a 27km-long circular particle accelerator, which will be used to (hopefully) replicate a miniture version of the Big Bang. The experiment will run for over 10 years, with the first useful bits of information being returned within the first year. Don’t worry, the probability of the Earth being destroyed during the experiment is only 10 to the minus 40th power.
