Editorial Reviews

***Discover the secrets of the final frontier with a unique DVD collection that will inspire your mind and your sense of adventure. From our closest neighbor the Moon to distant galaxies, explore bizarre facts about the universe, intriguing what ifs, and fascinating answers that will inspire more questions. ***This awesome 5-DVD Set includes 5 documentaries: (1) 95 WORDS AN COUNTING - Visit the solar system's most exotic real estate, the moons. Once dismissed as trivial balls of ice, these celestial bodies may hold the key to life in space; (2) IF WE HAD NO MOON - Without the moon, days would last four hours, winds would blow with hurricane force, and Earth would be shrouded in a dense, toxic atmosphere. What luck that 50 million years ago, Earth sustained a major collision that created its moon! (3) THE DAY THE EARTH NEARLY DIED - The Permian mass extinction was the worst disaster ever to hit Earth. It shattered ecological order and changed evolution forever. Now, scientists shed new light on the mystery of the most destructive event in the planet's history; (4) UNFOLDING UNIVERSE - A team of astronomers and scientists try to find clues to the origins of our galaxy and try to locate a strange presence hidden deep in the core of the galaxy. What they find in this mysterious realm harbors clues to the origin of the world; (5) UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSE - Join astronomers and astrophysicists as they probe light years beyond the Milky Way. Get a close-up look at our sun, nebulas and supernovas, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Listen to echoes of the Big Bang. Learn how Black Holes could actually be "warm holes" to other worlds, and see what the "red shift" of stars tells us about the age of our Universe.
