The New Universe

From the creator

In the late 1970s, NASA launched a series of three High Energy Astronomy Observatories (HEAO). The purpose of these observatories was to obtain high quality, high resolution data on cosmic ray, gamma ray and x-ray sources and to answer the questions surounding such topics as quasars, pulsars, and black holes. This film, produced before the launch of any of the observatories, provides an overview of many key discoveries in the field of astrophysics to that point while also discusses the key breakthroughs expected from the HEAO missions.
