episodes:
season 1
01. Big Bang
This is the greatest story ever told, the creation of everything us. The programme investigates how the Universe came into existence out of nothing, and how it grew from a miniscule point, smaller than an atomic particle, to the vast cosmos we see today.
02. Black Holes
Black Holes,the most powerful destroyers in the Universe, the most mysterious phenomena in the heavens. For years they were only speculation, now modern astronomy is proving them frighteningly real and showing that they may well shape everything we see.
03. Galaxies

The story of how stars were made by the Universe and how Stars then went on to engineer everything else in that very universe. They changed the Universe by spawning further generations of stars, then planets and eventually the building blocks of life.
05. Supernovas
Stars are not eternal; they are dying in unimaginably large explosions called supernovas. Second only to the Big Bang, these explosions are where creation and destruction meet. Only now have we begun to understand how these wonders in our sky work.
06. Planets
Stars are not eternal; they are dying in unimaginably large explosions called supernovas. Second only to the Big Bang, these explosions are where creation and destruction meet. Only now have we begun to understand how these wonders in our sky work.

Various eminent scientists explain the current knowledge of Black Holes and try to answer the question, do they really exist? The two great theories of Einstein’s General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics don’t work together to explain Black Holes which is a big problem. Other theoretical constructs such as Gravastars and Planck stars have been postulated but proving their existence is just as difficult as that of Black Holes. So where next?
02. Twin Suns: The Alien Mysteries
Planets that orbit two suns instead of one might be deadly hell worlds, but new discoveries reveal that sci-fi star systems with binary stars might be optimal places for alien life.
03. Dark History of the Solar System
Our solar system hides a dark and violent past, and new discoveries reveal that Earth and the planets were formed from the destruction of alien worlds that came before us.
04. Death of the Milky Way
The Milky Way is dying, and using the latest science and discoveries, experts are investigating what’s killing it.
05. Uranus & Neptune: Rise of the Ice Giants
Uranus and Neptune are mysterious, icy worlds at the edge of our solar system, and new discoveries reveal that these strange planets may have helped start life on Earth.
06. Secret History of Mercury
Mercury has a dangerous secret that may one day threaten life on Earth.
07. The Quasar Enigma
Quasars are the brightest and most powerful objects in our universe, and though they have shaped the cosmos, they might ultimately destroy everything that exists.
08. Strange Lives of Dwarf Planets
New discoveries reveal the secrets of hundreds of strange, tiny worlds called dwarf planets.
09. War on Asteroids
Scientists discuss various types of asteroids, previous collisions between asteroids and Earth, and various technologies that may be employed to stop future collisions. Also discussed are ways in which nature can prevent or lessen the impact of collisions.
10. Mystery of Spacetime
Spacetime is the secret structure that controls our universe, time, light, and energy.
season 7
01. Nightmares of Neutron Stars
Neutron stars are strange and violent phenomena that defy the laws of physics, and new discoveries reveal that these bizarre nightmares are far more deadly than previously believed, with the power to destroy planets and even other stars.
02. When Supernovas Strike
Supernovas are the violent death of giant stars, and new discoveries reveal that these cataclysmic events create the elements that are essential to all life in the universe.
03. The Interstellar Mysteries
Discoveries about interstellar space, the space between the universe’s stars, reveal that it’s not empty and unremarkable as previously thought, but filled with weird objects and strange phenomena that might hold the darkest secrets of the cosmos.

Black holes are not the violent monsters people think they are, and new discoveries reveal that they might have been essential to creating stars, giving light, and building the universe itself.
05. Secret World of Nebulas
Nebulas are the strange structures of cosmic gas and dust where stars are born and die, and new discoveries reveal the secrets of these mysterious places.
06. Did the Big Bang Really Happen?
New discoveries are causing astronomers to question if the Big Bang really happened, and using the latest science, they investigate if it wasn’t just the start of our universe but many mysterious multiverses.

Dark matter and dark energy are locked in an epic battle for control of the cosmos, and the winner will determine the fate of the universe. New discoveries might reveal which force will emerge victorious.
08. Hunt for Alien Life
The latest discoveries suggest that we might be on the verge of discovering life beyond our planet, and scientists are investigating if earth’s life began elsewhere in the universe, and whether we need to evolve to know for sure.
09. Finding the New Earth
New discoveries have revealed thousands of exoplanets beyond the solar system. Some resemble earth enough that one could be a new home for humanity. Even with cutting-edge technology, finding the perfect one is the scientific challenge of the age.
10. Cassini's Final Secrets
For twenty years, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft revealed the strange secrets of Saturn until it vaporized in its atmosphere in a blaze of glory. But today its legacy lives on, as fresh data from the probe helps scientists make brand-new discoveries.
