Product Description:
***THE UNIVERSE: BEYOND THE BIG BANG (A&E, 2007, 100 min, DVD+R format, it is recommended to check your DVD player for compatibility) ~ Go back to the start of it all, and trace our ever-growing understanding of our own place in the Universe. A virtual collision of astronomy and history, these dense, enlightening episodes 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. The latest out-of-this-world installment of THE UNIVERSE takes us back to where it all started: an unimaginably dense and hot fireball that rapidly expanded to become, well, everything. BIG BANG uses strikingly realistic computer reconstructions to transport you to this original moment, putting you ringside at the foundation of our Universe. This episode also dramatically connects the dots, from Aristotle to LeMaitre by way of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and Hubble, to how we came to this amazing revelation about the origins of Space and Time. ***PLANET STORM (Discovery, 2007, 102 min) ~ Imagine a storm from Jupiter big enough to swallow the Earth, with 300 mile-per-hour winds that could grind cities into rubble and blow for hundreds of years. Now watch as the latest in computer-generated effects brings this monster to life. A typical Martian storm would devour everything in its path at half the speed of sound, until every square foot of land was sandblasted to oblivion. Constant volcanic eruptions like the ones on Jupiter's moon, Io, would create a rain of deadly radiation on Earth. Hold on tight for this unprecedented, first-ever look at what it would be like to experience some of our solar system's most powerful forces here on Earth. Includes interviews with Dr. Wesley Ward of the U.S. Geological Society, Tim Dowling of the University of Louisville, NASA scientist Bruce Tsurutani. Narrated by Emmy-winning actress Brenda Vaccaro.
