inspired them to reflect on the origins of our world and our very existence existence. band push oil it is one of the five astro photographers portrayed in the movie. one of my fascination with stars began when i was a kid i think i read one of those children science books my favorite edition was the one titled the first stars it had a bright nebula on its cover which caught my attention so i just had to read it and since then i've been mad about the cosmos. first and it was just. down to push like specializes in time lapse photography and scours the globe in search of the perfect picture. is all over you've got to be in the right place at the right time to spot certain constellations to capture special kind of moonlight maybe even to see a comet or the northern lights which are extremely rare so that's

a challenge for sure. the documentary follows four other astro photographers in addition to push it an australian and the outback and a rainy and stargazing in south america's atacama desert region all of them are in search of a stellar shot often having to spend cold nights in tents. just i'm pretty certain these start chases a crazy and i mean who else would stay up all night and put up with who knows what . i was impressed by their attitude and the. lengths to which they go to capture these images. he visits and even stuff on the bill those organs were common in the stars need to be perfectly aligned so to speak for a perfect chart good weather is essential otherwise stunning phenomena like this solar eclipse over indonesia might be hidden behind clouds the idea lot of this all

these people who came here and got all excited might not get to see it. after witnessing either thirty sell or eclipse as myself around the world is this going to be the one blocked by clouds i hope not that's only silence. but then luckily the clouds break affording a brief glance. i could get a nice atmosphere gives you goosebumps when you sense it's getting darker if i may say. in. the documentary also touches on deep philosophical questions. the minister downer untraveled when you look up at the stars you need to realise you're actually looking at history fascinating thought. a star like dan have been the cygnus constellation is one thousand six hundred light years away from me that means we're seeing what it looked like in four hundred seen

crystals there so the starry sky is like a real time machine allowing us to look into the past. for gungho challenge. here in cologne all ban to push his camera captures is a blank lit up sky rather than stars of the brick looking up into the starry night also means thinking about genesis about the won't stop there the vastness of space and light pollution is everywhere in the western civilized world and blocks out those stocks best thing to do that's what. we really hate us if our planet is all there is. and ignore those myriad old tentative won't sound down. for when. luckily we have astro photographers like down push light to remind us of those worlds and the mystical northern lights encourage us to keep gazing skywards.

like the stars in the sky and other major fascination is how the vikings lived over one thousand years ago and one of the best places to get an accurate impression is the head of zero seven one and they've done their vast fortress in northern germany between the eighth and the eleventh centuries these guys were at the center of the trade networks between northern and western europe all today seven viking houses and a landing bridge and white visitors to experience what life was like back. viking's life was not for the fainthearted the men hunted for food with bows and arrows. hand-made clothes and cloth kept them warm during the cold winters. built wooden ships with the simplest of to. the viking

settlement of haines or blue once numbered among the foremost early medieval trading centers in northern europe. died sure visitors how the vikings went about their daily lives over a thousand years ago. it was a life in and with nature but had an incredibly sharp power of observation they were very well acquainted with the materials around them and knew how to use them to their advantage to build housing ships and wagons and make rope. they made a great many things that we could hardly even imagine today the real and fortune current. page of the lies in. northern germany. seven facts to roof wooden houses have been faithfully reconstructed. the settlement was built at the end of the shoreline an inlet on the baltic sea. it was

a strategic location for training precious metals weapons and pelt today it's a treasure trove of jests. behind me the eyes here of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries but at first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but there's usually in archaeology the real treasures lie underground and here behind us there isn't a square centimeter that doesn't contain archeological finds. we always say hey that was archaeologically contaminated. in the nearby viking museum visitors can inspect many of the original artifacts. it's one of because shine is the most popular museum. over one hundred thousand people come and usually in search of the real vikings. the museum shows the viking is highly developed from the sun still the smiths are not for example or the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit

is. a fortune for the profession unlike the classic image of the vikings as warriors what i find after such an intense examination here is that above all they were internationally trading european or even somewhat cosmopolitan. to have to. be in the hands craft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just worry is definitely a cultured people they are. up for a come on. the down of a canny hay to do is another significant archeological site from the viking age. it consists of earthworks walls and trenches which in some thirty kilometers. the fortifications date back some one thousand years they can best be explored by bicycle. down

a vehicle was built to protect project land peninsula against invaders. the down of america was the longest lasting border of the middle ages and the best preserved in its various phases as we see here the. guns waldemar small for example was a very innovative construction for the time. they had already gone to build with bricks in the twelfth century. the site gives us a unique insight into how the vikings lived. being listed as a world heritage sites would underline their importance. chicle fines indicate this was once home to a global trading power. here in haiti but we found mercury holes that came from western afghanistan's. we also found us of brass and spoke to from the white sea air. comes in so as a trading say something like the major ports of hamburg in rotterdam are today. in

the gun some place where all kinds of wares are trading groups came together and dispersed again for we had. paid to build proofs that the vikings were not just warriors but also shrewd strangers and people who lived in harmony with nature. it's been nine years since the king of pop michael jackson suddenly died from an overdose of drugs and mr and by his doctor on now an exhibition in london is paying tribute to the musicians influence on the art world war on that at the top of today's express. on thursday london's national portrait gallery on baled an exhibition to commemorate the late music legend michael jackson the show titled on the wall traces the king of pop's impact on contemporary art it's called really about michael jackson per se it's not about his biography really to try to tell his life story but it's about what his
