S1, Ep1
Secrets of the Sun
The physical processes driving the energetic dynamics of the Sun and the resulting impact on the earth are examined.
S1, Ep2
Mars: The Red Planet
Program recaps the basic knowledge about Mars normally covered in high school.
S1, Ep3
The End of the Earth
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.
S1, Ep4
Jupiter: The Giant Planet
The Universe examines the stormy gas giant Jupiter and its mini-solar system of over 60 moons.
S1, Ep5
The Moon
The unique features of Earth's moon and the processes that shaped it are described. Past theories of the Moon's formation are also presented.
S1, Ep6
Spaceship Earth
The processes and events that created the current terrestrial biosphere are described. The alarmist perspective of the human impact on this environment is presented then brought into perspective in light of the natural changes the Earth undergoes.
S1, Ep7
Inner Planets
Contrasts the radical differences between Earth and the planets Venus and Mercury. Lessons for life on earth are presented.
S1, Ep8
Saturn
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.
S1, Ep9
Alien Galaxies
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.
S1, Ep10
Life and Death of a Star
Gravity plays a crucial role in both the birth and death of stars in this detailed review. Various types of stellar collisions are simulated.
S1, Ep11
The Outer Planets
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 ...
S1, Ep12
Most Dangerous Places
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.
S1, Ep13
Search for E.T.
S1, Ep14
Beyond the Big Bang
Documentary that explores how mankind came to understand the Universe and its origins in the Big Bang, from the earliest people who looked up at the sky and wondered about its nature to modern physicists like Einstein, Gamow, Alpher And Guth.
