Product Description:
As the Earth grapples with the effects of global warming, science has increasingly looked to outer space for answers to the glaring threats facing our world. Are there other planets in the Universe with the unique ability to support life--or is there truly no place like home? HISTORY ventures into the uncharted territory of outer space through the visions, studies, and predictions of scientists and explorers, utilizing cutting-edge computer graphics and stunning footage to bring the universe down to Earth.

Now available on Blu-Ray DVD for the first time, HISTORY presents all 13 visually arresting, awe-inspiring episodes from THE UNIVERSE: THE COMPLETE SEASON ONE plus the feature-length documentary Beyond the Big Bang . From the planets to the stars to the edge of the known universe, history and science collide in this epic exploration of space and its limitless potential.

DISC 1: Secrets of the Sun / Mars: The Red Planet / The End of the Earth: Deep Space Threats To Our Planet / Jupiter: The Giant Planet / The Moon
DISC 2: Spaceship Earth / The Inner Planets: Mercury & Venus / Saturn: Lord of the Rings / Alien Galaxies / Life and Death of a Star
DISC 3: The Outer Planets / The Most Dangerous Place in the Universe / Search for ET / Beyond the Big Bang (2hr)

Amazon.com:
The sky and outer space have fascinated man for centuries and the History Channel's series The Universe is the story of man's study of the cosmos from his earliest attempts to map and understand the heavens through modern day scientific studies, advances, and theories. A mix of historical footage, modern space imaging, and conceptual computer graphics presented in high-definition, the visual component of this production is absolutely breathtaking. Each of the 13 44-minute episodes begins with a general introduction of subjects ranging from the sun to individual planets, alien galaxies, the search for extra-terrestrial life, and scientific theories like the Big Bang. Each topic is then broken down into a series of segments that detail specific ideas, theories, or components integral to the understanding of the main topic as well as historical material, current studies and theories, and projections of potential future events and scientific advances. The 90-minute "Beyond the Big Bang" feature relates "the story of everything"--from the universe's formation following the "Big Bang" to its eventual projected demise from unchecked expansion dubbed the "Big Rip." Leading experts from universities and scientific institutions around the world do a great job of taking very complex subjects like galaxies with spiral density arms and relating them to easily graspable concepts like a city with a downtown core surrounded by suburbs and plagued by freeway traffic jams. Amazing photographs from the Hubble space telescope, infrared views from the Spitzer space telescope, and x-ray images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory augment understanding as do demonstrations of modern science's ability to simulate historical events like the formation of earth and to project future cosmic events. The Universe is a fascinating and understandable study of space that speaks to viewers ranging from the generally curious to the serious student of cosmology. --Tami Horiuchi

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yes, it is that good
Its as good as everyone says it is. The picture quality is amazing, even on a 67" screen (1080p helps quite a bit at 60"+ sizes) and the camera work on the nature scenes is extremely well done. Even the narration is great...good voice and good script/points made. They show you a lot of rare stuff, and even rare animals doing things that one might think would be hard to capture on film...just extremely impressive in every way.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the Universe blu-ray
All of you who are thinking about buying this must know that it uses a variety of poor and old picture quality sources. From interlacing content to sources with dot crawl. But all of that does not compare to the experience you will have just watching 1 episode. A absolute must own!!! Our Universe is more then just possible ETs out there. Prepared to be scared, wowed and feel small.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Y el idioma extranjero??
El año pasado compre la primera temporada del el Universo. Aquí mismo en Amazon. Resulta que la edición era pobrísima, anunciaba que traía subtítulos en español, y por eso la compre.

La serie me parece muy buena, en especial para acercar al publico general a estos temas, claro si queremos algo súper específico como se lee n un review anterior no es lo mejor.

Compraría a ojos cerrados esta edición en Blu-Ray, pero lamentablemente no trae ni idioma ni subtítulos ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Hesitate if you are a serious astronomy buff, a little too cutesy
I am reviewing the Blu-ray version of The Universe Season One.

Let me first frame my review. I am a big astronomy buff. I have been interested and studied astronomy all my life. Although I dabled in aerospace engineering in college due to my love of space, I ultimately changed my major and have never really worked in the field. In fact I don't own a telescope. Most of my interest has been satisfied by books and wonderful TV shows like Cosmos and The Planets.

So, to ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not quite show-off material
Ok, so I bought this because I'm a space documentary freak, but let me tell you, it's not really much more better than the regular dvd, in terms of video quality.

Also, no subtitles, whatsoever.
