The view of Earth from space is one that few of us will ever get to experience. To see the planet as a single orb in the expanse of space can change the way you feel about your life, our species, and our place in the universe. It’s an experience currently reserved for the fortunate few who carry the torch of humanity into space.

Helen Sharman, Daniel Tani, Michael Barratt and Jean-Francois Clervoy recall that moment when they first set eyes on our blue planet from above.

‘A Place Called Space’ is the 2015 Royal Institution advent calendar. Every day in the run up to Christmas we’ll be releasing an original piece of content exploring the human experience and cultural significance of space travel. With hand-drawn animations, experiments in zero gravity, interviews with astronauts and creative data visualisations, the calendar will fire you into space every morning.

‘A Place Called Space’ channels the voices of seasoned astronauts and expert scientists through the eyes of a team of talented animators, film-makers and artists, bringing you a thought-provoking gem to kick-start each day.

  1. I want to help earth but idk how I wan tot plant some trees and plants but I don't have any seeds

    Way
    That I can help is to

    Throw trash/garbage on the right trash can

  7. When I look at earth from footage like this Space looks so small. Wee need to start looking after ower planet. Wee are just a grain of sand in the tide of space..

  8. If we make it to the distance future I don't think it would be bizzare to assume that every human who desires to leave earth will be able to at some point. I can imagine interstellar academics for the youth to learn and train from a young age.
