nostra nau

nostra nau –a daily glance at the stars– is a series of 150 videos on Astronomy and Space exploration. It was daily broadcasted on K3/33 Catalan Television (2001-2003).

nostra nau describes the Earth, Moon, Sun, planets, stars, constellations, galaxies... using images from factual observation and computer animations that are produced based on the latest astronomical and scientific models. Each video -about 5 minutes with musical background by a different author each day- invites the viewer to discover and enjoy the spectacle of the Universe; the set of all videos constitutes an assorted introduction to Astronomy.

Alongside the daily broadcasting of the program, the companion website nostranau.net offered (and continues to offer) the texts and some images of each episode, together with a guestbook and postcards. At present, the website offers too a news digest, a collection of links and other resources.

Since 2004, the educational network Edu365 exhibits all videos. Some chapters can be viewed too at YouTube.

In addition there is a set of 3 DVDs that present the full program in high quality video; in total, there are more than 10 hours of astronomic knowledge explained in a thought provoking way, to suit all types of viewers.

nostra nau is a co-production by Televisió de Catalunya, S.A. and BNC Produccions, S.L.
