From the
mysteries of our own solar system those that surround unexplored
galaxies, history and science collide in this ambitious
investigation of the Universe. Questions about the Universe have
consumed man since the dawn of time. In the 50 years since humans
made their first tentative explorations of space, we have increased
our knowledge of the cosmos dramatically, using powerful telescopes,
robotic probes, and manned missions. But only recently has computer
technology allowed scientists to illustrate in stunning detail their
awe-inspiring conclusions. The Universe, a groundbreaking series
from The History Channel®, employs cutting-edge computer-generated
imagery to bring distant planets and faraway stars up close,
allowing viewers to gaze at black holes and comets, and witness the
births and deaths of galaxies and solar systems. |
