The Planets - 4 Volume Set - 400 Minutes (DVD)
From the first faltering attempts to magnify the sky with crude lenses to the probes which blazed billion-mile trails to even the most distant planets, THE PLANETS relives the gripping stories of adventure and discovery through the eyes of those who saw it happen. Witness the initial glimpse of the dark side of the moon, share the tension of the first perilous dash through the rings of Saturn and search for oceans of hot water and life beneath Europa's icy crust.
Using a unique blend of state-of-the-art computer graphics, unseen archival footage from the zenith of the Space Race and firsthand testimony from scientists worldwide, THE PLANETS is the most comprehensive account of space exploration and discovery ever compiled. The DVD format allows viewers to freeze the spellbinding images and explore some of the graphics with crystal clarity not possible on video.
It's an epic journey of cosmic discovery, amazement and adventure... like nothing on earth.
