Can anyone suggest good documentaries about Space or astrophysics?

I am looking for some recent documentaries about either space, cosmology or astrophysics.


I prefer non-historical documentaries (so not history of the space program)





Thanks a lot!|||There are lots of brilliant documentaries out there about these topics.


- The universe (almost 60 episodes now, ranging from formation of solar systems to space wars). Highly recommended series.





The BBC has some of the best documentaries ever made:


-Space Odyssey - Voyage to the planets: describes the journey of a crew to almost every planet in our solar system with landings on most of the planets or moons. Also shows the dangers of spaceflight.


-BBC Space: Interesting 6-part documentary about how matter forms to the future of space exploration.





-Mars rising and Race to Mars are 2 documentaries somewhat similar about how humans go to Mars.


-Origins: From the birth of earth over aliens back to the beginning.





There are loads more, most of them really worth watching.|||http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/qu鈥?/a>

and it could have begun from nothing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PL鈥?/a>|||If you want to learn something, instead of being entertained, try a DVD course from the Teaching Company. You can probably get them from your public library for free.|||'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009
