COSMOS - 8 PART SERIES
Presented with spectacular new images from NASA and ESA's (European Space Agency) May 2009 overhaul of the Hubble Telescope and satellite photos, this video series embarks on an exploration of the known universe from our own planet to galaxies light years away. Complex digital models of galactic collisions, stellar formations and other Astronomical theories along with mesmerizing pho-tography of the world we can't directly observe ourselves make up the visual exposition. This series will inspire wonder and respect for knowledge that is at the root of all science. COSMOS is testimony to the complexity of our world and a perfect visual aid for the
investigation of otherwise abstract principles of infinity, space and time, and the life of the Solar System.

How Einstein's 20th century theories are shaping 21st century science. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein is universally considered one of the greatest thinkers of modern times, a man whose name is synonymous with genius itself. Yet despite the consensus, few really understand the ideas and applications of his theory of relativity and other important works. Perhaps fewer still realize how important his research is to astrophysicists today, as they search the skies to study black holes, seek out new worlds, and even investigate travel through time.
