Blast! April 9, 2012

Welcome to astrophysics Indiana Jones style! Five-time Emmy award winner Paul Devlin follows the story of his brother, Mark Devlin PhD, as he leads a tenacious team of scientists trying to figure out how all the galaxies formed by launching a revolutionary new telescope under a NASA high-altitude balloon. They hope to look back in time to reveal a hidden universe of never-before-seen star burst galaxies, providing clues to the evolution of everything. From catastrophic failure to transcendent triumph, BLAST! exposes the surprising real life work of scientists.
