“Wonders of the Universe”<\/b><\/p>\n

Peer deep into space through the eyes of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and travel back billions of years in time to witness the birth of the universe. On this breathtaking excursion, you\u2019ll witness the formation of galaxies and explore some of the most wondrous nebulae and astronomical structures yet discovered. As your travels continue, you\u2019ll fly deep into our own Milky Way galaxy and return home to Earth on a spectacular tour through the solar system.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Forces of Nature”<\/b><\/p>\n

Come close to nature\u2019s most powerful and extreme forces. Cameras capture large-scale volcanoes, earthquakes, and storms as a team of scientists travel the world in an attempt to figure out what causes these dangerous, yet undeniably thrilling natural occurrences. Putting their lives on the line in the name of scientific discovery, the experts forge their way through erupting pits, through volcanic flows, along fault lines, and in cars heading straight for tornados\u2019 eyes. Narrated by Kevin Bacon.<\/span><\/p>\n
