This program explores the journey the winds take from their birth at the Equator to the North Pole, where we witness the space rainbow better known as aurora borealis. We tell of the devastating events that were unleashed by Hurricane Andrew in the USA and recall how the jet stream was put to deadly use by the Japanese in World War II. We see how the wind can turn from the cooling breeze of a summer day to a devastating tornado, and how a wind from space can literally flatten the planet.
[A BBC/TLC co-production.]
A post-screening discussion will be led by Shane Murphy, of Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
This event is suitable for ages 6 and older.
