Our Solar System and Others Not So Like It
on: Carnegie Institution
Understanding the mechanisms for planet-building compels us to look out to young stars. The leftovers from star formation are the raw materials for planets, and in young solar systems astronomers look for analogues of our own early Solar System. Hear how astronomers learn about nascent planetary systems and the processes that sculpt them.

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
Speaker: Richard Feynman
Time: 50 minutes Fifty minutes of PURE Feynman! This is the original Horizon Nova interview - essential for any Feynman fan... and for everyone else too!
THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales -- about childhood, Los Alamos, or how he won a Nobel Prize -- are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play.
'The 1981 Feynman Horizon is the best science program I have ever seen. This is not just my opinion - it is also the opinion of many of the best scientists that I know who have seen the program... It should be mandatory viewing for all students whether they be science or arts students.' - Professor Sir Harry Kroto, Nobel Prize for Chemistry
