The Privileged Planet DVD
This documentary film explores our place in the universe and whether earth is merely a "pale blue dot," one speck in the cosmos, as Carl Sagan has suggested, or if it's a uniquely privileged planet. Mounting evidence from professional scientists, including astrobiologists, indicates that the unique position of the earth in the universe is necessary to achieve the large number of factors it takes to support life on earth. They also show how our privileged position in the galaxy provides a unique view to study the universe around us. Narrated by John Rhys-Davies (
The Lord of the Rings). 60 minutes. Grade 8-12.
