From our humble planet to the most awesome celestial bodies, immerse yourself in this spectacular exploration of Space.Relive the moments of history’s greatest astronomical discoveries.The wonders of Space come alive through spectacular computer animations.Includes the Beyond the Big Bang! Bring THE UNIVERSE down to Earth. At no other time since humans first contemplated the stars has our understanding of the unimaginably vast Cosmos grown so rapidly. We know immeasurably more about what’s beyond our atmosphere than we did a century ago. We know far, far more than we knew even a decade ago. In this epic documentary miniseries, THE UNIVERSE takes you to the leading edge of our ever-expanding astronomical knowledge. A virtual collision of astronomy and history, these ten dense, enlightening hours (13 episodes total) of unprecedented programming give unique insight – through recreations and animations – on the great “Eureka!” moments of celestial understanding and into the very latest celestial discoveries. And with these strikingly realistic computer reconstructions, you’ll travel to the outer edges of the Known. Tour THE UNIVERSE! Experience the Cosmos as no-one ever has – not peering at dots through a telescope or scanning pages of numbers – but firsthand. Flirt with a black hole’s Event Horizon, rove the surface of Mars, plunge into the Sun. Further, this series gives serious, constructive consideration to the great human questions: Are we alone? Is Planet Earth as insignificant to the Cosmos as a drop of water? Is there anywhere else out there that that can support life? Or, is there truly no place like home? With 125 billion galaxies in THE UNIVERSE (containing as many as 100 billion stars each!), there’s a lot of ground to cover. You’d better start watching now! THE UNIVERSE installments are: Secrets of the Sun Mars: The Red Planet The End of the Earth: Deep Space Threats To Our Planet Jupiter: The Giant Planet The Moon Spaceship Earth The Inner Planets: Mercury & Venus Saturn: Lord of the Rings Alien Galaxies Life and Death of a Star The Outer Planets The Most Dangerous Place in the Search for ET Beyond the Big Bang
