- I.R.S. auditor Harold Crick suddenly finds his mundane Chicago life to be the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire existence, from his work to his love life to his death.
- Follows a team of engineers and scientists in an ambitious mission to launch the James Webb Space Telescope and take the next giant leap in the understanding of the universe.
- A travel by the wonders of the universe as brief as unforgettable.
- Photographer of the universe, sentinel of the past, watcher of the mankind...that is the Hubble, the 'eye in the sky' of the planet Earth.
- HUNT FOR A SUPER COMET chronicles the journey of Comet ISON from the outer solar system to its perilous journey towards the sun, where it met a deadly fate, leaving behind decades worth of unprecedented science.
- Although supernovas are associated with the death of stars they also seed the universe with heavy elements that comprise rocky planets like Earth and living creatures. Due to their extraordinary brightness supernovas have a recorded history dating back 2,000 years. Although closely studied for decades their infrequency has permitted only a general understanding of their behavior until very recently. New computer models can model the major details of the explosion while new exploratory techniques reveal many more events including some truly super supernovas.
- 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.
- If a planet has an atmosphere it has weather. And where there is weather there are storms. Our solar system is chock full of them. And the bigger the temperature extreme the bigger the storm. Which makes Earth hurricanes and thunderstorms seem rather uninteresting.
- 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.
- Is our solar system unique? Since the first discovery of a planet orbiting another star, some 280 alien solar systems have been identified. It's only by looking at solar systems far beyond our own, that we can understand how remarkable our universe is.
- In the last episode of Professor Brian Cox's epic journey across the universe, he travels from the fossils of the Burgess Shale to the sands of the oldest desert in the world to show how light holds the key to our understanding of the whole universe, including our own deepest origins. But first we need to understand the peculiar properties of light itself.
- Western North America, 65 million years ago, a world is about to come to an end. An asteroid, 6 miles wide, slams into the Earth, dust clouds block out all sunlight, thousands of species perish, the dinosaurs never recover.
- Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: Are we alone? Finding Life Beyond Earth immerses audiences in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system.
- Dr Allan Chapman explores the life of Newton. He uses humor, along with imagined cine film, location visits and demonstrations to examine Newton's contributions to science.
