MEMBER REVIEW: This 2012 Discovery program has 8 parts on 2 disks. Again this is an excellent introduction to cosmology, physics and

astronomy. Volcanoes, megastorms, planets from hell and megaflares are not about anything on Earth, but rather in the solar system and

beyond. Extreme orbits, comets, asteroids and birth of the Earth are also more cosmologically oriented. Again excellent animations and

Hubble graphics make this another must-see series. DESCRIPTION: Explaining how the universe works is a task of galactic proportions, but

this 2-disc set takes it on. Delivering almost six hours of scientific exploration, the collection covers planets, weather, energy,

magnetism, orbits, comets, and other elements that make up this space that we call home. Still, providing answers only sparks more

questions: Will chaotic weather lead us to alien life? Is Earth really the only inhabitable planet out there? Is our world a target in the

magnetic minefield of the universe? These 8 episodes will help you to understand the intricacies of the wonders of our world, as well as

what each can teach us about our own lives.
