A presentation of the facts and theory surrounding the astronomical phenomenon of "black holes", using the latest in computer-generated imagery. Theories regarding their origin are presented, along with speculation about what lies with and beyond them.
Every star has a story. Some are as old as time, faint and almost forgotten. Journey to the furthest reaches of our galaxy and experience both the awesome beauty and destructive power of stars.
With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate.
Re-live the excitement of the early days of space exploration, from the launch of the first artificial satellite sputnik, to the magnificent lunar landings and privately operated space flights.
Go on a startling and beautiful voyage through our universe, galaxy and solar system in search of water and water worlds like earth. Could the presence of water in space mean there is life beyond earth?
Investigate the boundary between our solar system and the rest of our universe.
Look back at rare classes of eruptions that have marshaled the energy that lurks, like a sleeping dragon, beneath the surface of planet earth. The program moves beyond earth to explore the impact of giant volcanic eruptions around our solar system.
Do other planets like earth exist? Travel to distant stars and fly up close to exotic planets. Experience the science shifting our perspectives on humanity's place in the cosmos.
