TV's Most Perfectly Timed Shot Ever?

A recently viral clip from BBC's archives showcases one of the best-timed shots in TV history, featuring science journalist James Burke capturing the 1977 launch of NASA's Voyager 2. The spacecraft, part of the Voyager program, was launched to study the outer planets and interstellar space, and remains the only probe to have visited Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space in 2018 and continues to send data back to Earth. Burke, known for his work on the Apollo missions, was a prominent science presenter for the BBC.
