The Unfolding Universe

Black holes devouring stars, galaxies colliding, supernovae—the night sky is not as placid as it looks. In this beautifully filmed program, astronomers reconstruct the history of the universe and work to predict events to come, such as the fate of our sun and the Milky Way. With the help of outstanding computer simulations, astrophysicists explain the formation of stars, galaxies, and black holes. A number of leading experts provide informative commentary, including Neil Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at The American Museum of Natural History. A Discovery Channel Production. (51 minutes)
