If you have Foxtel, a new series on the Discovery channel has just started to air on Monday nights, titled "How The Universe Works". I didn't know this was going to be on last night, otherwise I would have notified you'll. But don't despair, you can catch the repeat of last night's episode on Saturday at 10.30am.
This hourly series airs on Monday nights at 7.30pm.
I watch a multitude of space documentaries, and I have to say, that in mine and hubby's opinions, this has been by far the most informative documentary we have seen yet.

Last night's episode was entitled "Stars". At the beginning, was a terrific presentation on the scale of stars which left me gasping and I learned more from this one episode than I ever have from other shows on the same topic. Even Eta Carinae gets a little more than just a passing mention. I can't wait for next week's episode - "Black Holes".

This new show is presented in such a way that it is easy to understand but at the same time targets a more intelligent audience. Unlike "The Universe" series (which I did indeed enjoy), I however found it to be a little simplistic and over dramatic (esp. in later episodes), in my opinion.

Being a "Discovery" series, I am certain that soon enough this series will be available on DVD.

Kind regards,
Suzy.
