Episode overview

Radiations of very short wavelength from space cannot reach the Earth because they are blocked by the atmosphere, but they are of increasing importance to astronomers. ROSAT, an artificial satellite designed specially for this research, is now sending back exciting information. Professor Ken Pounds of Leicester University and Patrick Moore discuss the latest results.
