Movie Reviews of The Planets (Box Set)
Movie Review: Great for the average person...
Summary: 5 Stars
not much of a creative writer so i will give a blunt review of this dvd. i purely reccomend it. if youre a scientist or some astrophysicist then id say dont buy it. youre not going to learn anything new. if youre casually interested in astronomy then by all means grab it asap.
Summary of The Planets (Box Set)
Where did it all begin? How did the universe give birth to the sun and its family of planets that form our solar system? How is a bubbling atomic reactor in space the source of warmth and light for life as we know it? Why will Mars be the first planet we colonize? What is the long-term fate of the planets in our solar system? Are we alone? The Planets is an entertaining, comprehensive, and informative A&E documentary series that sets out to answer many of life's most physically existential questions. This series combines scientific history of early scientists, rich knowledge from the leading minds in modern astronomy, and extraordinary image technology to tell the story of our solar system, from its beginnings to the present and beyond. The topics of the eight-volumes are: "Different Worlds," "Terra Firma," "Giants," Moon," "Star," "Atmosphere," "Life Beyond the Sun," and "Destiny." From the sweltering rocky surface of Mercury to the violent stormy skies of Jupiter to the cold, mysterious land of Pluto, The Planets is a fascinating exploration of discovery and adventure for anyone who has looked up into space on a starry night in total amazement. --Rob BraccoDocumentary DVD Video
