Out there in the universe, terrifying events occur on a daily basis.

Out there in the universe, terrifying events occur on a daily basis. In the 1960s the Pentagon discovered evidence of vast explosions in deep space. Then it was a military secret. Today, at scientific conferences around the world, gamma-ray bursts are causing excitement and concern in equal measure. Scientists believe that these truly cataclysmic events may be violent enough to threaten life on a galactic scale, sterilising whole star systems. The Real Death Star investigates the radiation caused by these explosions and the effect it has on genetic mutation and subsequently – human evolution.
