Hearts of Space #924 Distant Stars (09-24-2010) +Covers

Ambient

"A deep space journey through cosmic starfields."
This is the one hour program for the weekend of September 24, 2010 from Hearts of Space Radio Show.

Review by Stephen Hill, Producer:
Thirty years ago in 1980, astronomer CARL SAGAN's career as a television commentator hit its peak with the PBS series COSMOS. Thirteen one-hour documentary programs filled with cutting edge astronomy and special effects, enhanced by the music of VANGELIS and a long list of classical and electronic artists, produced a worldwide hit that has been seen by over 500 million people in 60 countries. The series helped establish electronic space and ambient music as a popular genre.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we commemorate the 30th anniversary of COSMOS with a deep space journey called DISTANT STARS.
