Gaia-related cartoons

 

Ever wondered where the Universe came from? Or more importantly, where it’s headed? Voiced by David Mitchell, this series of twelve 60 second animations examines different scientific concepts from the big bang to relativity, from black holes to dark matter. The series also explores the possibility of life beyond Earth and considers why David Bowie is still none the wiser about life on Mars.

Related to public engagement activities for Gaia, The Open University in the UK has produced some short Gaia-related cartoons, narrated by David Mitchell (a famous UK comedian), as part of a larger series focussing on astronomy.

They can be found on YouTube (http://bit.ly/1eGeY2A and http://bit.ly/19fiPTX ). Watch and enjoy!
