Visits thirty distinguished astronomers in their observatories throughout the world discussing astronomical theories, research, and discoveries. Pictures pulsars, infra-red galaxies, red giants, white dwarfs, cosmic rays and redshift, and includes the first motion picture view of a quasar (an object moving away from the solar system at a great speed). Presents two opposing theories as to the origin of the universe--the "Big Bang" theory that the universe started suddenly and may end that way, and the "Steady State" idea that the universe is infinite, old, and capable of lasting forever.
