Description

Professor Brian Cox returns with another insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space, presenting our universe as we've never seen it before.

At 13.7 billion years old and 93 billion light years wide, the Universe contains over 100 billion galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars. This infinite, vast, and complex Universe has captivated human fascination and inspired scientific exploration for thousands of years. Wonders of the Universe may seem alien and impossible to comprehend, but away from the telescopes, labs, and white coats, Professor Brian Cox uses evidence found in the natural world to explain its simple truths.

The same laws of light, gravity, time, matter, and energy that govern us on Earth also apply across the universe. With 3D CGI imagery, expert knowledge, and infectious enthusiasm, Professor Cox demonstrates that understanding the impact of these governing laws on Earth brings us a step closer to understanding our Universe.
