nostra nau (our ship) is a television series in Catalan about the stars, the Space and its exploration. nostra nau describes the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, the planets, the stars, the constellations, the galaxies... visualised through images coming from observation and computer animations specially produced according to the astronomical and scientific models. Each episode -about 5 minutes with musical background by a different author each day- invites to the discovery and the enjoyment of the Universe; the set of all episodes (150) constitutes an assorted introduction to Astronomy.
nostra nau was daily broadcasted through the K3/33 channel of Television of Catalonia from October 2001 to June 2002 and from October 2002 to May 2003. Alongside the daily broadcasting of the TV program, a companion website offered (and continues to offer) the text and some frames of each episode, plus a guestbook and postcards. At present, the website is kept active in favour of a daily glance to the stars, and offers too a news digest, a magazine (edited by a group of followers of the program), a collection of links, a bazaar and other resources. On
February 2004, with
the collaboration of
the Education Department of the Government of Catalonia, it was
published a box
of 3 DVD
with the whole program in quality video, totaling
more than 10 hours of astronomical
knowledge
atractively exposed for all audiences. And
since
November 2004, the
educational network Edu365 allows to watch on line the videos
of all
episodes. nostra nau is a coproduction by Televisió
