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.

ECO KIDS EXPLORE features the 5 different types of "Green Power" which are becoming increasingly popular: Solar Power, Wind Power, Geothermal energy, Ethanol and Hybrid Cars. This series investigates these energy sources in an understandable way, which will help young viewers learn how to help solve the problems facing our earth today. As our world grows, so does the demand for energy. As pollution increases and our fossil fuels deplete there is a need for more reliable affordable and eco-friendly source of energy - Green Power.

NEBULAS AND GALAXIES - PART I AND PART II
Many of the recent discoveries by the Hubble Space Telescope have
been catalogued by letters and numbers. Gone are the poetic, mythical
names like Milky Way or Andromeda or Pegasus. No claim of miracles,
no mystical story connected to the map of stars.

Earth's Moon was born in a catastrophic collision more than 4 billion
years ago. It started out very close to the planet but has been moving
away ever since. It's drifting away every year.

The solar system is alive. At its heart is our Sun, offering the very mol-
ecules of its body to create the energy fueling the system. The planets
are the concentrated remnants of an enormous cloud of dust and gas
that had transformed into a disk, condensed at its center until finally ig-
niting into a star.

Before man set foot on the moon, many of us have dreamt of
going into space. Now, with developments in space tourism
those dreams may become reality. With Virgin Galactic set to
offer suborbital flights in the not too distant future and other
companies experimenting with similar programs, space travel
for the public is an achievable development aided by continuous
research and advancements across the industry. Along with
technologies allowing mapping of the moon, the ATLAS experiment
on track to answer some of the most challenging questions
about our universe and the ESA working towards sending
man to Mars, the future of space exploration looks set to offer
some momentous discoveries.

Over a thousand years ago, the stellar explosion known as supernova
SN 1006 was observed. It was brighter than Venus, and visible during
the day for weeks. The brightest supernova ever recorded on Earth,
this spectacular light show was documented all around the world. An-
cient observers were treated to this celestial firework display without
understanding its cause.
