- This graphics intensive mega-series takes you on a backwards timeline to see what stood, lived, fought and died in your backyard hundreds, thousands, even millions of years ago.
- A rapid-fire history of our world, from the beginning of time as we know it to present day. This two-hour CGI-driven special delves into the key turning points: the formation of earth, emergence of life, spread of man and the growth of civilization--and reveals their surprising connections to our world today.
- An interview with actor Taron Edgerton and musician Karl Wolf.
- The physical processes driving the energetic dynamics of the Sun and the resulting impact on the earth are examined.
- A few of the cosmic threats to life on earth reviewed include meteors, gamma ray bursts and, in the distant future, evolution of the sun.
- Take a high performance ride through the formation of the third planet from the Sun, Earth. A survivor of one of the most violent "neighborhoods" in the universe, learn how earth was created and discover what creatures hold clues to how life began.
- 2007–201545mTV-147.9 (148)TV EpisodeContrasts the radical differences between Earth and the planets Venus and Mercury. Lessons for life on earth are presented.
- Program takes a brief look at the dynamics of Saturn's rings before exploring the unique and amazing features of the planet itself, including the curious behavior at the poles, and recent discoveries about Saturn's exotic moons.
- Gravity plays a crucial role in both the birth and death of stars in this detailed review. Various types of stellar collisions are simulated.
- How the various structural types of galaxies form by merging with smaller galaxies is explained and simulated. The preliminary hints at the importance of dark matter in the process are mentioned.
- Scientist describe the current understanding of exotic stars; magnetars, black holes and quasars with an obsession about how they would kill you. Galaxy collisions are simulated.
- New discoveries regarding the Outer Planets are creating a fundamental rethinking of our solar system. Uranus is a toxic combination of hydrogen, helium and methane. Scientists speculate that the planet was knocked on its side after colliding with another body. Neptune's largest moon, Triton, is cold and barren, but some scientists speculate that liquid water might exist under Triton's icy surface. If this is proven true, Triton could be the home to one of the biggest discoveries of all time. Cold and inhospitable, Pluto completes one orbit around the solar system every 248 years. Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to bring the universe down to earth to show what life would be like on other planets, and to imagine what kind of life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres.
- In a galaxy filled with a billion stars, in a universe filled with a hundred billion galaxies--are we alone? SETI--the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence--is a privately funded project using radio telescopes.
- A few of the astronomical mysteries that bother scientists and the progress toward understanding them are described.
- Collisions between relatively minor bodies in the solar system can have far reaching effects. Astronomers are trying to trace meteors that caused mass extinctions back to the event that cause them to cross Earth's path in case they have relatives waiting to pay a visit.
- Many considerations come to the forefront when planning space travel beyond the moon. Scientists are currently working on overcoming the many challenges and testing their solutions.
- Various phenomenon observed on earth, both real and perceived, are linked to the moon. Explanations for these phenomenon are presented.
- Program examines the possible ways the universe could come to an end. The most likely scenario, eternal expansion, is expected to be rather eventful in the long term.
- In space travel there is a saying that the first 50 miles and the last 50 miles are the most dangerous. Explore the controlled explosion of launch, the fiery crucible of reentry and everything in between. See how a single spark inside a spacecraft or a micrometeoroid less than an inch wide hitting a space station can turn a routine mission into a lethal nightmare.
- Some of the world's leading physicists believe they have found startling new evidence showing the existence of universes other than our own. One possibility is that the universe is so vast that an exact replica of our Solar System, our planet and ourselves exists many times over. These Doppelganger Universes exist within our own Universe; in what scientist now call "The Multiverse.
- The challenges and risks of procreation in space are examined.
- Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are bits of the sun thrown into space. When directed in the direction of earth they are a grave threat to civilization. How the sun's magnetic fields generate CMEs, the earth magnetic field protects us from CMSs and how our civilization's dependence on magnetic fields keeps us at risk from CMEs is explained.
- Strange interstellar phenomena such as cosmic alcohol clouds, planets orbiting pulsars and dark energy is discussed.
- Practical applications and emerging difficulties of earth orbit are described.
