RELEASE NOTES
Tyson begins the episode by noting how the
destruction of the Library of Alexandria lost much
of humanity's knowledge to that point. He then
contrasts on the strive for humanity to continue
to discover new facts about the universe and the
need to not close off further discovery.
Tyson then proceeds to describe the discovery of
cosmic rays by Victor Hess through high-altitude
balloon trips, where radiation increased the
farther one was from the surface. Swiss Astronomer
Fritz Zwicky, in studying supernovae, postulated
that these cosmic rays originated from these
events instead of electromagnetic radiation.
Zwicky would continue to study supernovae, and by
looking at standard candles that they emitted,
estimated the movement of the galaxies in the
universe. His calculations suggested that there
must be more mass in the universe than those
apparent in the observable galaxies, and called
this dark matter. Initially forgotten, Zwicky's
theory was confirmed by the work of Vera Rubin,
who observed that the rotation of stars at the
edges of observable galaxies did not follow
expected rotational behavior without considering
dark matter. This further led to the discovery of
dark energy by Edwin Hubble to account for the
known rate of expansion of the universe beyond the
visible and dark matter mass.
Tyson then describes the interstellar travel,
using the two Voyager probes. Besides the
abilities to identify several features on the
planets of the solar system, Voyager I was able to
recently demonstrate the existence of the Sun's
variable heliosphere which help buffer the Solar
System from interstellar winds. Tyson describes
Carl Sagan's role in the Voyager program,
including creating the Voyager Golden Record to
encapsulate humanity and Earth's position in the
universe, and convincing the program directors to
have Voyager I to take a picture of Earth from
beyond the orbit of Neptune, creating the image of
the Pale Blue Dot. Tyson concludes the series by
emphasizing Sagan's message on the human condition
in the vastness of the cosmos, and to encourage
viewers to continue to explore and discover what
else the universe has to offer.
The series concludes with the empty-seated Ship of
the Imagination leaving Earth and traveling
through space as Tyson looks on from planet Earth.
