Prospecting for Planets
- 1991 ----- color ----- 56 min ----- vhs
- (Astronomers series, Part 6) Although many scientists are convinced that other planetary systems exist, so far none have been found with any certainty. This program focuses on efforts to discover other systems and learn more about the planets of our own solar system. Meet Bradford Smith and Richard Terrile as they search the universe from an observatory in the Chilean Andes. See the work of other astronomers using telescopes in the United States, including David Latham who believes he may have detected a distant planetary system. View the spectacular images sent back to earth by Voyager, the space probe exploring the outer edges of the solar system.
