Falling Into a Black Hole, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, fall slowly into a black hole: from the country vicar who imagined dark stars in 1783, the letter Schwarzschild sent from the front and the young Chandrasekhar working it out on a ship, out to the heart of our galaxy, where a star loops an invisible giant every sixteen years. Then down,...

The Wildest Weather in the Universe, Slowly Explained for Sleep

Strange Life, Slowly Explained for Sleep

Space Mysteries, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, drift outward through the mysteries of space that nobody can yet explain - the Sun's crown that is hotter than the Sun, the hexagon on Saturn, the Wow! signal, the particle from nowhere, dark matter, dark energy, the slow hum of the universe, and finally the oldest question of all -...

Strange Worlds, Slowly Explained for Sleep

-
The Rainforest, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, stand still under the canopy through one whole rainforest night - the dusk chorus, the world in a single tree, the rain that the forest makes itself, the glowing wood on the floor, and the dawn chorus before any light - narrated softly over calm music to help you fall asleep. Dim the...
-
The Frozen North, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, stand out in the snow through one long arctic night - the last blue light, the hush under the snow where the small animals live, the sea freezing over in the dark, and the northern lights folding quietly overhead - narrated softly over calm music to help you fall asleep. Dim the lights,...
-
The Moon, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, sit with the Moon for an hour - the collision that made it, the seas that are not seas, why moonlight looks silver when it isn't, the copper light of an eclipse, and the three point eight centimetres it drifts away from us every year - narrated softly over calm music to help you fall...

The Universe, Slowly Explained for Sleep
Tonight, drift slowly outward from your own room to the furthest thing there is to see - past the planets, the nearest stars, the whole turning galaxy, and out to the oldest light in the universe - narrated softly over calm music to help you fall asleep. Dim the lights, lower the volume, and let...
