00:00THE END
00:30THE END
01:00ROBERT, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?
01:02I DON'T KNOW
01:06HAVE YOU CHECKED?
01:07YES, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE CHATTS
01:08HERE SHOULDN'T BE ANYTHING THERE
01:10A COMET?
01:11COULD BE
01:13PROPER MOTION IS TOO HIGH, DO
01:15THE DEFINITION IS SHARPER THAN ANY COMET I WILL SEE
01:18ME TOO
01:18WHEN DID YOU FIRST SEE IT?
01:21THREE WEEKS AGO
01:22CAME UP ON THE LAST BATCH OF PLATES
01:23LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT IT AGAIN
01:25COULD BE, WE'RE BOTH MISTAKING
01:26could be here we are this is our greatest treasure oh can i stop you for a minute
01:33uh this is peter oh i say i'm terribly sorry i've forgotten your name barry barry yes of course how
01:39stupid of me peter barry june chalice how do you do and robert duncan how do you do how do you do
01:46peter's with uk television he's working on a series about um what was it now uh new developments in
01:52metallurgy oh yes bit out of my line i'm afraid new developments in metallurgy oh dear yes i know
01:57what you mean oh we run a weekly program called the latest in science oh and this should be good
02:03for three or four programs i hope you won't think me dense but uh what are you doing in an observatory
02:09well all's gristow our mill and dr ramsey here is very kindly offered to assist us with a program
02:14on astronomy a series of programs i missed him by inches in london so i thought i'd try and run
02:18him to work here in scotland and he caught me actually it's these two you should be talking
02:22to i'm only a visitor here dr grundy's in charge but he's in canada how many programs are you doing
02:27on astronomy six i think six yes i know it's not enough what are you calling them hmm oh i don't know
02:36the floor of heaven perhaps what are you thinking about what oh i was i was just wondering if there's
02:49anyone anything up there sending us radio signals perhaps century after century i wondered if anyone
02:56might be receiving them take a long time the nearest star is four light years away we've been sending
03:02signals into space haven't we you never know someone or something might pick them up intelligence
03:07out there maybe if so let's hope they have the intelligence to leave us alone
03:15what on earth is that well that's what we call a blink comparator a what a blink microscope you take
03:21two pictures of the same star region taken at different times and you superimpose them like this
03:26i'm sorry i don't get it well normally stars remain unchanged in their positions well that's why
03:31they're called fixed stars but if anything new appears like a new star for instance it'll appear
03:36on one plate and not the other and by flicking the plates on and off you can see the stars blinking
03:42on and off you can observe the effect very easily even in a region crowded with stars oh i see look at this
03:52oh i see just off center there it's blinking at me exactly those two plates were taken at an
03:58interval of three weeks and since the first plate was taken the new objects appear
04:03and what is it it's a nova a huge explosion in space a nova well the only nova i'm familiar with is
04:10a boss in that what and never mind oh i see well look let me explain every now and again a star so
04:17faint that one can't normally see it explodes like uh like a hydrogen bomb it's still just a point of light
04:23however because of the distance let's see now this star cluster for instance that's about what 1800
04:30light years away that's quite an explosion as it all happened a long time ago of course this bang took
04:34place about the time of nero we're just getting the news of it now as it were well that's good stuff
04:39we must try and get that into the program well i must be off well dr ranzi i'm very grateful for all
04:44your help perhaps you'll call in and see us the moment you arrive in london uk television will find
04:48me uh certainly mr murray barry oh i'm terribly sorry goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye it isn't an
04:58over what it isn't an over sir what do you mean look at that september the 10th nothing
05:04yes september the 15th it's there yes september the 25th now look at that good heavens look at the
05:21proper motion june get a message off to harvard when sir first observed a position proper motion and
05:28magnitude we must try and uh trace the speed come on come on have a good look at this
05:44uh get me another coffee will you
06:00here it is thank you look not over my scripts love what's merchant talking about thermodynamics
06:08oh hello hello nobody doing anything hello peter how are you hello my lovely here
06:12did you uh get hold of ramsey yes i roughed out a program he's going to do six programs for us
06:19starting on the 40th good man what about money oh well that's up to you i told him to contact you
06:24the moment he arrived right peter uh-huh when did you see him a few days ago why did you say anything
06:33about a comet there's a comet no why oh he did mention a star that they'd seen on the great telescope uh
06:41what was he said he said it was called a nova that's a star exploding in space well it isn't we've
06:46had a whole lot of reports these last few days about a comet look russia south africa japan the united
06:51states half the world's observatories have reported it they all say the first report came from ramsey
06:59then why would he say it was a nova exactly he's england's top astronomer an expert on spectroscopy
07:06yes okay wait a minute fellow of the royal society do you think you'd make a simple mistake like that
07:11no i don't excuse me he's here who dr ramsey he's in reception ask him to come up peter this is your
07:18chance he's a balshio bird hates authority loves to throw a span into the works yeah remember the row
07:23we had with the atomic energy people last year yes i covered it it's even got a story trip him up ask him
07:27why he said it was on over when he knew damn well it wasn't ask him if he's under security
07:32dr ramsey so nice to meet you how do you do uh you know peter of course yes nice to see you again
07:39did you have a good trip yes thank you it was very nice uh diane i'll get us some coffee i hope you
07:43don't mind paper cups not at all uh will you sit down i'll just get these scripts out of your way thank
07:48you uh over to you peter right thank you uh well doctor i've uh roughed out a script for the first
07:56program perhaps you'd like to have a look at it thank you uh doctor you remember that object you
08:04showed me at the observatory yes we've all been doing quite a lot of work on it there's ricover
08:08at palomar young in south africa and bran off in russia how far away is it well it's difficult to
08:13establish the distance which is several million miles several million it must be enormous yes it is
08:20well let's say for example that it's three million miles away
08:23it would have to be at least six miles across to be visible even to our most powerful instruments
08:28six miles on the other hand it might be 10 or 20 times further away in which case would have to be
08:33much larger and what's happening about it now well chalice and duncan are working on it at the
08:38observatory they're going to let me have their results as soon as possible when will that be in
08:43about a week i think
08:46one thing's quite clear though
08:48it's not a terrestrial origin and it's not a comet no we're quite certain of that
08:56then what is it that's what the observatories of the world are trying so hard to find out
09:06proper motion 14 seconds of arc in 24 hours ascension 24 16 4 declination 39 14 12 further
09:15observations
09:45i've just heard from joggle bank they've established the distance i'm more interested
09:48in finding its course looks to me as if it's going to come pretty close well i've got the graphs
09:53this way it should approach within a few hundred thousand miles quite a spectacle yes and it's growing
09:58brighter should be visible without instruments in a couple of days how's mike getting on stuff's
10:03pouring in all the time he's feeding the computer as fast as he can but the results won't be through
10:08for a while
10:08shouldn't you have some rest you've been at it since six o'clock i'm almost through
10:17robert what do you make of it the object i wish i knew i've never seen anything like it before
10:24nor has anyone else it seems it's the brightness i find most strange it's not what you'd expect from a
10:29a cold body of that size perhaps it's composed of snow or frozen hydrogen that would have a high
10:34reflecting power yes mass must be enormous even if it is snow and if it's rock have they worked it out
10:41yet it's mass no ah i've been comparing its course with the earth's orbit are duncan here yes
10:57i see
11:00thank you well how close is it going to come are we going to be able to see it
11:05it's heading straight for us
11:23so
12:03Ah, Prime Minister, here's the report.
12:05Thank you. What time does Ramsey arrive?
12:07He was due in a London airport an hour ago.
12:09I sent a car, of course, so he should be here at any moment now.
12:12Good.
12:15Well, according to this, there's no change.
12:17Object Z, as they're calling it now,
12:20is approaching the Earth at high speed.
12:22When will it strike?
12:24If this report is correct,
12:26in about six weeks.
12:29Six weeks?
12:31If my memory is correct,
12:35the Earth moves around the Sun
12:37at a speed of 16 miles per second.
12:39This thing's moving at about 15, isn't it?
12:42That's right.
12:43I'm thinking of relative speeds, John.
12:45If the Earth and this thing are moving in the same direction,
12:50the speed of impact might be quite low.
12:52There might be merely a graze.
12:53Unfortunately, this object is approaching the Earth
12:56directly into our orbit.
12:58So we combine the speeds, 13 miles a second.
13:01That's right.
13:05Good evening, Prime Minister.
13:06Good evening, Ramsey. Do sit down.
13:10You have your report for me?
13:11Yes.
13:15There's no change, I'm afraid.
13:17Can you say whether it will collide directly with the Earth
13:21or strike a glancing blow?
13:23Its course at present is almost in the plane of the Earth's orbit.
13:26It's likely, for reasons which I won't bother with at the moment,
13:30to strike a glancing blow.
13:32But even a glancing blow with an object six miles across
13:35travelling at a combined speed of 30 miles a second
13:38is likely to be a serious matter.
13:40How serious?
13:41Well, that depends on its composition.
13:43There are two kinds of meteors,
13:45the stony and the metallic.
13:47If this object is stony,
13:48then there's a chance that we might survive the impact.
13:51Some of us, at any rate.
13:53If it's metallic?
13:54Yes.
13:56Then I'm afraid the impact would be quite sufficient
13:58to destroy all life on Earth.
14:00I'm sorry to have to tell you this grim news.
14:18You have no way of telling whether it's stony or metallic?
14:22I'm afraid not.
14:23These shelters we're going to build,
14:26will they help?
14:28As you know, every country on Earth is planning shelters.
14:30Will they be of any use?
14:31Not if this thing is metallic.
14:34There is one hope, though.
14:36Only a slight hope, I admit, but...
14:37Well, go on.
14:38We've managed to chart the course of this object
14:40with some considerable accuracy.
14:42I believe that we might be able to destroy it
14:45or at least deflect it from its course in space.
14:48How do you mean with a bomb?
14:50Do you mean hit it with a missile of some sort?
14:52Sure, could that be done?
14:53It's impossible.
14:54Look, the problem of hitting it with the bomb
14:56of sufficient power to destroy it is very difficult.
15:00We would need a vehicle at least three times as powerful
15:03as anything that we have at the moment.
15:05And we would need the equivalent of a 400 megaton bomb.
15:08400 megaton?
15:11That's twice as large as anything in existence.
15:13Yes, it is.
15:14Could we build such a machine in time?
15:16Well, I'm not an engineer, sir, but I believe that it could be done.
15:19If we pool our resources with the Americans and the Russians,
15:22then the project is feasible.
15:27I am attending the World Conference next week.
15:29I'll bring the matter up.
15:46Well, that's that.
15:53Tired?
15:54A bit.
15:55I find it so strange to think that we're two of the 20 or 30 people in the whole world who are in on the secret.
16:14What do you think they'll do?
16:16When they find out, you mean?
16:17I don't know.
16:18It depends on your temperament, I suppose.
16:21Some people pray.
16:23Some people take to drink.
16:25Thanks.
16:26Some people do themselves in rather than face it.
16:29Most people carry on as usual, I should think.
16:32There's nothing much else they can do.
16:33Of course, they may be able to keep it from everyone until...
16:36Until the Big Bang.
16:37Well, I suppose that would be best.
16:39Everybody looking at it.
16:41Brighter than the full moon.
16:43The most striking thing the world has ever seen.
16:48And then the impact.
16:49All over in a moment.
16:51No fuss or pain.
16:52What will you do?
16:54What, with my last few days?
17:02Well...
17:05I'd like to begin by marrying you.
17:08I mean it, June.
17:10I can't offer you much future.
17:13Six weeks, to be exact.
17:15But I'd like to spend them with you.
17:19What do you say?
17:20What do you say?
17:24I think so.
17:25But I don't want to have to cut that.
17:26We'll see how the time goes.
17:27This is a point.
17:28If we can get through to that, in the time, then we'll keep it.
17:30One minute to you.
17:31Then you're on.
17:32Long as you keep it through the time.
17:33Yeah, well, I'll look here one of you if you want.
17:36That's right.
17:37Dr. Ramsey, I must get up to the box.
17:39Good luck, it's all going to be splendid.
17:40Good luck. Hurry, Brian.
17:41Now, there's no need to be nervous.
17:43We've had a good run-through, and most of it's on film, as you know.
17:45When you're on film, you can use your script,
17:47and the floor manager will tell you when we're coming back to you.
17:49Right.
17:50Now, I'm sorry we had to cut it down, but the Prime Minister's on at nine, as you know.
17:53Yes, I know.
17:54I wonder what it's about.
17:55A crisis, I suppose.
17:56Yes, I suppose so.
17:5730 seconds.
17:58Ah, I must go.
17:59Good luck.
18:01What are you doing here?
18:02We start in a moment.
18:03Well, we're from the observatory in Scotland.
18:04We came straight here to wish him luck.
18:06Get rid of him, for heaven's sake.
18:08Come on, this way.
18:09Good luck!
18:10Oh, thank you.
18:1115 seconds.
18:12Good luck, Doctor.
18:13Don't worry about anything.
18:14It'll be fine.
18:15Doctor, can you sit here, please?
18:16Ten seconds.
18:19Nine.
18:20Eight.
18:21Seven.
18:22Six.
18:23Five.
18:24Music on captions.
18:25Stand by.
18:26Few of us could have looked at the night sky without beginning to ask some profound questions.
18:37Is space infinite?
18:39How did those millions of stars, those galaxies thousands of light years across and millions of light years away come into existence?
18:47Did the universe have a beginning?
18:48Did the universe have a beginning?
18:50And will it have an end?
18:52In the next six weeks, I will try to give the answers to some of these questions.
19:06Six weeks is a short time.
19:10What's the matter with him?
19:11Come on, man, come on.
19:12I thought for a moment he was going to break down.
19:13I thought for a moment he was going to break down.
19:14I thought for a moment he was going to break down.
19:15So did I.
19:16You should never have come through this.
19:17Excuse me.
19:18Let us consider the question.
19:19How does stars originate?
19:20How does stars originate?
19:21You're June Chalice, aren't you?
19:23Yes.
19:24You're Duncan?
19:25Yes.
19:26Security?
19:27Yes.
19:28Special branch.
19:29Won't you stay?
19:30If I may.
19:31I mean that the whole process probably took millions of years.
19:35At this very moment there are thousands of gaseous clouds in space.
19:38Well, thank you, Doctor.
19:43Now, before we close the programme, I'd like to ask your opinion on something which I'm sure is in the mind of all our viewers.
19:49This new object that's been seen in the sky is causing such a sensation throughout the world.
19:54Has anything like it ever been seen before?
19:56How do you mean?
19:57Well, is it a comet?
19:58Oh, I see.
19:59No, it's not a comet.
20:00A comet, as I've said before, is not a solid object.
20:03It usually, though not always, exhibits a tail.
20:06The object that we're seeing has no tail.
20:09It appears to be solid, like a meteor.
20:10A meteor?
20:11How far away is it?
20:12Oh, several million miles.
20:14Of course, in astronomical terms it's really very close, but it is several million miles away.
20:18Is it likely to get any nearer?
20:20Yes.
20:21In the next few weeks it's likely to become a very brilliant object.
20:24How close will it come to the Earth?
20:26Oh, quite close.
20:28Yes, but how close, Doctor?
20:29Is there any danger of it striking the Earth?
20:31Oh, it's most unlikely.
20:33But it could happen.
20:34Yes, it could happen.
20:35The Earth is constantly being bombarded.
20:36Thank you, Dr. Ramsey.
20:37Well, that was the first of a series of talks on astronomy by Dr. Ramsey, entitled The Great Machine.
20:42That's all for this week.
20:43Until next week, good night.
20:44Just a moment.
20:45Just a moment.
20:55That was fine.
20:56Fine.
20:57You're clear now.
20:59Excuse me, sir.
21:00Can I speak to you for a moment?
21:01Yes, sir.
21:02What do you mean by barging in like us?
21:03Don't you know that...
21:04I'm from security.
21:05I don't care if you're Albers Presley.
21:06I won't have any...
21:07Johnny, can I have some sound on the floor, please?
21:11I come before you tonight with news of the gravest importance to this country and to the world.
21:18Those of you who are at work, I ask you to lay that work aside for the moment and listen to what I have to say.
21:26A few hours ago, I was present at a conference at which every nation of the world was represented, because the whole world is threatened by a danger which transcends political and national considerations of any kind.
21:45The message I bring is this. An object from outer space may well pass close to the earth before going on into the vastness of space.
21:57It is possible, and I tell you this in the light of the best scientific advice available, that it may strike the earth a glancing blow.
22:04It is even possible that it may score what I can only describe as a direct hit.
22:11It is for this reason that work has begun on the building of shelters against the impact.
22:17As I told you, this thing may well pass as far.
22:21Should this object collide with the earth, the shock will be very great.
22:27And the provision of adequate shelters is the best chance we have of preventing severe loss of life.
22:35It is for this reason that I have asked members of the opposition to join me at this moment in forming a national government, so that this country may be truly united in the face of the grave danger.
22:50In the meantime, I ask for calm. I ask all those of you who are listening to me to set an example of courage and discipline in face of the grave danger which threatens us all. Good night.
23:07So that's it. I suppose you knew all about it.
23:10Yes, I did.
23:11Well, Doctor, how long have we got? About six weeks?
23:13For security reasons, I'd rather you didn't answer that.
23:15Now, just a minute. Who the hell do you think you are? Will you come with me, sir?
23:17You too, Miss Chellis. Mr Duncan, if you don't mind.
23:21I'm sorry to have to hustle you off like this, sir, but there's a plane waiting. There's a car outside.
23:25Where are we going?
23:26In Woomera, sir. In Australia.
23:27Woomera?
23:28Yes, sir. That's why I must ask you to hurry. The plane leaves in a couple of hours.
23:31That's what I do about clothes and things.
23:33Oh.
23:34Well, well.
23:35So that's it. Poor Devil. No wonder he was so rattled. He knew all the time, but he was under pressure from security.
23:41What a day. Well, let's get out of here.
23:44Good night, Brian.
23:45Good night. See you tomorrow.
23:46Let's go and have a coffee, shall we?
23:50It's good to get a bit of fresh air.
23:52Yeah.
23:53Okay.
23:55Is it my imagination or is it getting brighter?
23:57It's your imagination.
24:00Just six weeks to live.
24:17Thanks, guys.
24:19What?
