In this long in development episode, we look back at the ground-breaking, record-breaking and undeniably beautiful Avatar.
We see you, Cosmic Shed listeners.
Andrew, Ti and Steve are joined by the hosts of the For What it's Earth podcast Emma Brisdion and Lloyd Hopkins to discuss the science and storytelling of Avatar.

You'll also hear from Christopher Conselice whose research revealed the likely number of alien civilisations out there. Christopher is an American astrophysicist who is currently a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Manchester.
The floating mountain of the Valley of Mo'ara is an inspiration for Avatar's Pandora.
Settle in under your favourite tree and listen to this brand new episode of the Cosmic Shed podcast. Oh and you might as well watch Avatar again too. It's been too long.
