Astronomers' View of the Earth

0.0June 8, 1978

Far from being exceptional, our earth is an ordinary planet moving around an ordinary star. From space it looks like a coloured globe as men have seen it from the surface of the moon. In this programme Patrick Moore and Dr Ron Maddison discuss the earth from an extra-terrestrial astronomer's point of view.
