Praying for success

Science, faith and failure are chronicled in a documentary about the balloon-borne telescope BLAST.

The documentary film BLAST! follows cosmologist Mark Devlin's journey from Sweden to Antarctica as he and his team launch a balloon-borne telescope to study galaxy formation in the early Universe. As research from the telescope — known as BLAST (the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope) — is published in this week's Nature1, documentary-maker Paul Devlin explains what he has learned from filming his brother Mark's expeditions.
