- S1 F1 – Is the Universe Infinite?22. November 201025 Min.Explore the biggest question of all. How far do the stars stretch out into space? And what's beyond them? In modern times, we built giant telescopes that have allowed us to cast our gaze deep into the universe. Astronomers have been able to look back to near the time of its birth. They've reconstructed the course of cosmic history in astonishing detail.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F2 – When Will Time End?30. Januar 201525 Min.Time is flying by on this busy, crowded planet as life changes from second to second. At the same time, the arc of the human lifespan is getting longer: 67 years is the global average, up from just 20 years in the Stone Age. How much time does the universe have? The answer may depend on whether Stephen Hawking was right in his theory that describes how black holes shed mass and eventually decay.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F3 – Hubble Legacy Field: One of the Most Important Images of All Time2. Juli 20199 Min.Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble space telescope has completed 1.5 million observations. The Hubble team has now released what may be their most detailed image of the deep universe. The Hubble Legacy Field is a mosaic of 7,500 images that tells the story of our universe going back to nearly the time of the big bang. It's a crowning achievement in this golden age of astronomy.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F4 – The Incredible Journey of Apollo 121. Mai 201925 Min.This is the ultimate buddy movie. November 14, 1969. Three astronauts with spacesuits, food, water, and a battery of scientific and communications equipment prepared to fly to the moon. Thousands gathered at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. How would the launch fare in a powerful electrical storm now gathering above the launch pad? That was just the start of Apollo 12's incredible journey.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F5 – The Largest Black Holes in the Universe26. September 200925 Min.Our Milky Way Galaxy is thought to harbor millions of black holes, the ultra dense remnants of dead stars. But now, in the universe far beyond our galaxy, there's evidence of something far more ominous. A breed of black holes that has reached incomprehensible size and destructive power. Just how large, and violent, and strange can they get?Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F6 – Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the Galaxy15. Dezember 201731 Min.Feel the pull of the largest object in our galaxy, a supermassive black hole that dominates its central region. Astronomers are discovering its properties by probing the stars and ultra-dense objects that are buzzing around it. Find out why scientists are eager to image it directly.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F7 – Are There Other Earths?8. Januar 201835 Min.Scientists, wielding sensitive new telescopes and "big data" tools, have detected planets around thousands of stars; some Sun-like and some very different from our star. Many newly discovered "exoplanets" lie in "habitable zones," where liquid water may support the chemistry that enables biology. How will astronomers discover if we have company in the cosmos and where they live?Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F8 – Collision That Formed the Moon1. März 20189 Min.Over five decades ago, Apollo astronauts brought back to Earth a wide variety of rocks from the Moon. Analysis of these rocks gave rise to a bold new set of ideas describing the origin of the Moon in a violent collision with another planet. Scientists like Robin Canup have recently been testing a range of predictions of this Giant Impact theory using a new generation of powerful supercomputers.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F9 – Seeing Inside the Sun14. Februar 201810 Min.Dr. Robert Stein, professor of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State Universe, has long envisioned a day when he could use supercomputer programs to "see" through the roiling surface of the sun to its dynamic interior. He is searching for mechanisms that drive the violent outbursts known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, known to disrupt the electrical systems that power our civilization.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F10 – Star Crash: the Explosion that Transformed Astronomy8. Januar 201815 Min.A startling collision in an ancient galaxy slews Earth's largest telescopes to a spot in the Hydra constellation. Two rapidly spinning neutron stars have violently merged to form a possible black hole. And, for the first time, astronomers see its electromagnetic flash and hear its gravitational thunder as they watch new elements being born.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F11 – Black Holes and the High-Energy Universe5. Januar 201724 Min.Astronomers are probing the high-energy cosmic frontier with a series of key missions: Fermi, Swift, Chandra, NuSTAR, and Hubble. Their goal: to find out how the universe works on a fundamental level. This video was inspired by a NASA event at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where leading scientists delivered the latest news about black holes, supernovae, and gamma ray bursts.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F12 – Hurricane Florence: Storm of the Future4. Oktober 201818 Min.Hurricane Florence offers a glimpse of the rising dangers posed by tropical storms and other major weather systems to American coastal states. Populations in these regions are steadily rising, not just along the beach but inland as well. With ocean temperatures rising, hurricanes and tropical storms can transport vast amounts of rain to these inland communities, causing catastrophic flooding.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F13 – Day of the Asteroid5. Januar 201725 Min.Asteroids racing through the solar system have smashed into Earth before. What are the chances we'll get hit again? Armed with new defensive technologies, scientists are getting ready for the inevitable day, a decade, century, or millennia from now: the Day of the Asteroid.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F14 – Black Hole Starship15. Mai 201714 Min.Two scientists have laid out the basic technical specifications of a black hole powered starship. What vision of the future inspired this strange vehicle? How feasible is it technically? How far could it take humanity one day in the distant future?Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F15 – Earth's Most Destructive Supervolcanoes15. Mai 201628 Min.They are eruptions so vast, so Earth-shattering, they have changed the history of our planet. Climate collapse. Toxic turmoil. Mass extinction. Worse than a killer asteroid, or nuclear war, they are Earth's most destructive Supervolcanoes.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F16 – The Dream of Interstellar Flight15. Mai 201625 Min.Explore the challenges of interstellar flight and the technological possibilities that may one day send us on a long voyage out into the galaxy. What imperatives will define the mission when it launches and finally arrives: exploration and science, or a struggle for survival?Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F17 – Birth of a Black Hole15. Mai 201625 Min.It was one of the greatest mysteries in modern science: a series of brief but extremely bright flashes of ultra-high energy light coming from somewhere out in space. These gamma ray bursts were first spotted by spy satellites in the 1960s. It took three decades and a revolution in high-energy astronomy for scientists to figure out what they were.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F18 – Venus: Death of a Planet8. Juni 201025 Min.Why did Earth thrive and our sister planet, Venus, became a dead planet alien to life? From the fires of our sun's birth, twin planets emerged. But heir paths diverged, as nature draped one world in the greens and blues of life, while enveloping the other in acid clouds, high heat and volcanic flows. Scientists are looking for clues in Venus' history that explain its disastrous turn for the worst.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
- S1 F19 – The Most Powerful Objects in the Universe9. September 201025 Min.All across the immense reaches of time and space, energy is being exchanged, transferred, released, in a great cosmic pinball game we call our universe. This episodes traces the progression of energy events from the smallest and coldest, to the hottest and most powerful in all the cosmos.Dieses Video ist derzeit nicht verfügbar.
