Shot in HD with stunning footage from NASA and packed with state-of-the-art CGI graphics, this epic series explores the celestial skies to reveal the beauty and mysteries of the cosmos. The program delves into the catclysmic events that set the stage for life, visits sites where Earth's birthing process is still in evidence, portrays colliding celestial bodies and collapsing suns, and describes how the universe is awash in all sorts of strange liquids, from oceans of methane to blobs of alcohol floating in space to iron rain. This 17-DVD boxed set includes all 55 episodes of the series' first four seasons plus the feature-length documentary Beyond the Big Bang.
