And the live Saucerful just has to be seen, with Waters jumping around in the sunlight banging the huge gong. The 80-minute version features studio footage from the recordings of Dark side of the Moon, with alternate versions of Us and them, On the run and Brain Damage, as well as interviews with the band.
- Biosphere is a groundbreaking non narrative documentary filmed in 4K around the globe in remote areas and dense cities showcasing our planet and its inhabitants in their daily lives.
- A travel by the wonders of the universe as brief as unforgettable.
- How do researchers observe the physical forces at work on the Sun's surface? Can we recreate in the laboratory the nuclear fusion that takes place at its heart? What would be the impact of a major solar storm on the power grids of an interconnected world? With astrophysicists, nuclear energy researchers, historians of science, artists and hunters of the aurora borealis - a phenomenon caused by the entry of particles from the solar wind into the Earth's atmosphere - this documentary sets out to discover a star that has been a symbol of life since the dawn of humanity.
- Leading scientists and researchers weigh in on the scenarios that might unfold if aliens find us and decide to visit Earth. Should we even be searching for extraterrestrial life? What are the risks of reaching out, and what are the risks if the Earth is "found" by aliens?.
- Comets - friend or foe? Once thought mystical, bringers of bad fortune: recent space missions reveal their origins and composition.
- What if the moon never had existed?
- An asteroid with a diameter of just four kilometers could wipe out all life on earth if it collided. The astrophysicist Prof. Dr. Robert v. Reichenbach the collision with Dr. Lena Moosbach. Over his head, the astrologer was hired as a teacher in the Berlin observatory he managed. For the hard-headed scientist and die-hard bachelor who trusts only dates, facts and numbers, this is an affront: Robert condemns astrologeria as a superstition that comes right after burning witches. Gritting his teeth, however, the absent-minded professor observes how Lena's clever lessons on horoscopes attract a larger audience to the observatory than his dry lectures on astronomy. Against his will, he even feels more than just sympathy for the lively new colleague, who brings a breath of fresh air into the dusty planetarium with her irresistible chaos. The attractive banker Monika registers with concern that there have been sparks between Robert and Lena. Monika has had her eye on the professor for a long time. In order to outdo her rival, she reveals to Robert that Lena forged her academic degree. Disappointed with this scam, Robert turns away from "Dr." Lena Moosbach exits. It takes his aunt Olga's wisdom to convince the obstinate physicist that Robert and Lena have a common passion: the stars.
- For thousands of years the humans observed the light coming from the night sky with their eyes. In the beginning of the 17th century, the invention of the telescope by Galileo revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. Finally, in the 20th century with the advent of rockets, it became possible to go above the earth's atmosphere and observe X-ray and gamma ray radiation which are the marks of the hot and violent Universe. But it is not only light that can give us information about the cosmos. Neutrinos and cosmic rays also provide vital information. Finally, the detection by the LIGO experiment of gravitational waves from two merging black holes opened a new window in astrophysics. This video presents images of the cosmos as revealed by all these different messengers.
- Europe to the Stars takes the viewer on an epic journey behind the scenes at the most productive ground-based observatory in the world, revealing the science, the history, the technology and the people.
- This planetarium show presents the environments of the black holes in an impressive and understandable way to the audience.
- The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration - was designed to capture images of a black hole. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. This 17-minute film explores the efforts that led to this historic image, from the science of Einstein and Schwarzschild to the struggles and successes of the EHT collaboration.
- In 2004, a team of astronomers lead by Roland Bacon at the Lyon Observatory, start the conception of MUSE, the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. This instrument for ESO's Very Large Telescope can study the Universe like never before.
- Series exploring topical scientific issues. The search for extra-terrestrial life has been going for 50 years - but there's been a recent breakthrough. Astronomers have discovered a new planet called Gliese 581 c. It is the most Earth-like planet ever found. It orbits a star and may have habitats capable of supporting life. NASA hopes to find 50 more Earth-like planets by the end of the decade, all of which increases the chance that alien life has begun elsewhere.
- They are the crown jewels of the galaxy. Neither stars, planets, moons or asteroids, they are the mysterious clouds of gas we call NEBULAS. Nearly invisible to the naked eye, astronomers use the most sophisticated techniques to tease images of these fascinating phenomena from the dark sky. When revealed in their full glory, they glow, reflect or obscure the galaxy's light.
- Compared to the largest things in the universe galaxies are trifles compared to super clusters, voids, lyman alpha blobs, and the cosmic web. But even among the smaller objects such as stars and planets, some are mind boggling by human standards.
- 202159m8.1 (33)TV EpisodeBrian looks at gravity, revealing it to be far more than just the force that makes things fall to the ground. He recalls memorable TV moments including meeting a space capsule returning astronauts from the International Space Station.
- They sort of sound like the same phenomenon, but Pulsars and Quasars are very different. Pulsars are tiny--only a few miles across--but they spin as fast as a kitchen blender.
- Have you ever thought of blasting off to the King of the Planets? For a truly out of this world planetary experience, you should head beyond the Asteroid Belt to the largest planet in the solar system. Welcome to Jupiter, a world so roomy that it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system and still have room for more. Yet for all its bulk there is nowhere to land, just an infernal drop into a bottomless sky. If you like solid ground beneath your feet, there's plenty of that as well. Encircled by some 63 moons and moonlets, Jupiter is like a miniature solar system all of its own. The four biggest moons offer off-world travel opportunities to die for. Rent by eruptions and bathed in intense radiation, Io is the most volcanic place in the Solar System, at once incredibly beautiful and astoundingly dangerous. But it is tiny, frozen neighbor Europa that everyone is trying to reach. Hidden beneath its icy crust is a vast alien ocean, warmed from within, and offering one of the best chances for an encounter with aliens that we have found beyond Earth.
- Take a trip to Saturn, the planetary pin-up boy, and not only do you get a ringside seat to the greatest spectacle in the solar system, but a close encounter with two extraordinary moons. Tiny Enceladus is making all the headlines as the must-see moon these days. It's the little moon that has it all: enormous geysers of water and ice shooting into space from the south pole point to a warm salty ocean beneath the surface and, perhaps, a real possibility of life. Even more earth-like and yet far more alien is Titan, with a thick atmosphere and weather. Potentially an easier surface to explore even than Mars, this is the only other world we know that you could visit without a spacesuit. Rug up for the cold and fly a hot air balloon in Titanian skies, trek across vast dune fields, or row across a Titanian lake. Just don't fall in or get caught in the rain: it's liquid natural gas out here, not water, and it'll freeze you as hard as rock.
- Beyond the narrow range of light that makes up the familiar colours of the rainbow is a vast spectrum of light, entirely unseen. With the help of groundbreaking new imaging technologies we see the world, quite literally, in a whole new light.
- There are just eight planets in our solar system, but there could be a hundred billion planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone. This show follows the journey of planets as they grow from grains of dust to the magnificently diverse worlds we see today.
- Horizon follows the astronomers pushing the limits of science and engineering with a new generation of super-telescopes in the hunt for mysterious objects in the universe. Covering not only the spectrum of visible and invisible light, but also the spectrum of telescopes from deep space, aircraft based telescope, high altitude land based, right down to sub-aquatic .
