Uranus and Neptune are studied as unidentical twins—vast gasbags inhabiting the cold, dark outer reaches of our galaxy. Exciting new time-lapse photography of the planets and their weather systems is presented, along with animation that depicts their moons. Stellar life-cycles in our galaxy and beyond are examined through images from the Hubble telescope and through animation. We see multiple stars, giant stars, and supernovae. (20 minutes)
