First released in 1970, Moonwalk
One is a digitally remastered version
of the seminal documentary that was

Explore the myths
In the three-part series Ancient Skies,
beginning at 7 pm Wednesday, July 24,
audiences will discover how centuries
of knowledge, experimentation, and
engineering helped our ancestors
explore outer space. Expert contributors
and indigenous storytellers demystify
astronomical myths with scientific
explanations to uncover their origins.
The father of
modern astronomy
When it was published in 1610, Galileo’s
“Sidereus Nuncius” (Starry Messenger)
set in motion a scientific revolution. Using
observations he made of both the earth’s moon
and Jupiter’s moons, Galileo proved earth is
not the center of the universe. 550 copies of
the original treatise were originally printed and
roughly 150 are known to exist today. When
an original copy with Galileo’s signature and
seemingly original watercolor paintings of
the phases of the moon believed to be done
by Galileo himself came on the market in
2005, Sidereus Nuncius caused a worldwide
sensation 400 years after its creation… and
again in 2012 when it was proved a fake. Join
experts as they examine the proof copy in
an all-new episode of Secrets of the Dead,
Galileo’s Moon, at 7 pm Tuesday, July 2.
