Documentary which follows the story of Mark Devlin and his team of scientists as they try to figure out how all the galaxies formed by launching a revolutionary new telescope under a NASA high-altitude balloon.

The obsessions, personal and family sacrifices, and philosophical and religious questioning of a professional scientist are all laid bare.
