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. - 1. Is the Universe Infinite?Denne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu30. januar 201525min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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. - 3.

The Largest Black Holes in the UniverseDenne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu30. januar 201525min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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? - 7. Are There Other Earths?Denne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu8. januar 201835min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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? - 8. Collision That Formed the MoonDenne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu1. marts 20189min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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. - 9. Seeing Inside the SunDenne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu14. februar 201810min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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. - 10. Star Crash: the Explosion that Transformed AstronomyDenne video er ikke tilgængelig lige nu8. januar 201815min13+UnderteksterEnglish [CC]LydsprogEnglish
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. - 11.
