The Universe: Biggest Things in Space
Tuesday, April 29th at 9PM/8c

The Universe series offers an epic exploration of the universe and its
mysteries, providing an in-depth analysis from the planets to the
stars to the edge of the known. As research into our universe has
become more sophisticated, new secrets are yielded which help us
understand our planet and the world beyond. Robotic rovers give us
eyes on the red rock of Mars, NASA probes slam into comets at hyper
speed, and deep space telescopes capture amazing images of the birth
of stars and their free-fall into black holes.

This one hour episode entitled Biggest Things in Space explores some
of the largest structures and objects in the universe. In this
episode, students will learn about the large concentrations of gas
known as Lyman alpha blobs, which contain countless galaxies. This
program also explains such phenomenon as the formation of super galaxy
clusters which arise as the result of cosmic collisions in space.
Students will learn about the largest planets, stars, black holes,
constellations, and "voids" in space, giving them an opportunity to
discuss the size and dimensions of our universe in relationship to
earth. Educators may want to use clips from this program to set up
debates or prompt conversations among students about the future of
space and its relevance in our everyday lives.
