Eclipses

Ancient Impossible reveals how many of today’s technological achievements were actually developed centuries ago. Colossal monuments, impossible feats of engineering and technologies so precise they defy reinvention–the ancient world was far more advanced than we ever imagined. We’ll travel through history to reveal a radically different picture of the past, with innovations so far ahead of their time; they’re still in use today. New science uncovers a lost world more like our own than we ever suspected, and reveals how modern technology has its blueprint in the ancient world.

Join us on a trip to Chile as we search for answers in the universe.
Why for thousands of years has the human being searched for answers in the Universe? Will Earth be the only planet with life? Will we ever colonize Mars? Join us on a trip to Chile, the world capital of astronomy, as we search for the answers. See the biggest telescopes in the world and the preparation involved to view the total eclipse of the Sun

In 1901, a group of divers excavating an ancient Roman shipwreck near the island of Antikythera, off the southern coast of Greece, found a mysterious object - a lump of calcified stone that contained within it several gearwheels welded together after years under the sea.

"Tous sur orbite !" est un parcours d’un an dans le système solaire, découpé en 52 semaines, qui commence le 1er janvier pour s’achever le 31 décembre. Au fil des saisons, la situation de la terre y est présentée comme une réalité quotidienne et familière.
Le spectateur peut y découvrir la grandeur, la beauté, la proximité et la simplicité de choses qui jusqu’alors lui avaient semblé lointaines et incompréhensibles.
Ce programme pédagogique permet de comprendre le fonctionnement du système solaire et révèle les mystères des éclipses, des marées ou encore des équinoxes. 5200 dessins, 30000 heures de calculs ont été nécessaires pour réaliser les 400000 images de synthèse en 3D. Un spectacle fascinant, écrit et réalisé par Nicolas Gessner.
Le meilleur documentaire sur le voyage de notre planète saison par saison, accessible, précis, vivant, plein de détails étonnants et surtout à la portée de tous car scientifique sans être pompeux ou ennuyant! Idéal pour mieux comprendre où nous allons, jour après jour : à voir absolument…

In 1900, a storm blew a boatload of sponge divers off course and forced them to take shelter by the tiny Mediterranean island of Antikythera. Diving the next day, they discovered a 2,000 year-old Greek shipwreck. Among the ship's cargo they hauled up was an unimpressive green lump of corroded bronze. Rusted remnants of gear wheels could be seen on its surface, suggesting some kind of intricate mechanism. The first X-ray studies confirmed that idea, but how it worked and what it was for puzzled scientists for decades.

Recently, hi-tech imaging has revealed the extraordinary truth: this unique clockwork machine was the world's first computer.
