History Channel Presents: The Universe DVD

The unfathomable power of the Universe explodes to life in an out-of-this-world set from HISTORY. Planets, stars, and galaxies are revealed in a whole new light: not as tiny dots in a telescope, but as if you were right there. Incredibly realistic computer reconstructions, sophisticated animations, and the most current scientific intelligence combine to show the hottest events in the sky, from colliding celestial bodies to collapsing suns. Closer to home, THE UNIVERSE COLLECTOR'S EDITION delves into how our own Earth developed from an inferno of molten rock to the beautiful orb that sustains us today. Experience firsthand the cataclysmic events that set the stage for life, and visit sites where Earth's birthing process is still in evidence. Relive astronomical triumphs, from the first crude lenses that were able to magnify celestial bodies to probes that blaze to the most distant planets. It's a journey of cosmic discovery, amazement, and adventure like nothing on earth. Source: New Video Group, Inc.
