Information
------------------------------
Description
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 series, THE UNIVERSE
SEASON 1 takes you to the leading edge of our
ever-expanding astronomical knowledge. A virtual
collision of astronomy and history, these 12
dense, enlightening hours (14 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, and 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?
