Violent Universe: Catastrophes of the Cosmos

Running time: 25 minutes • Released November 24, 2009

The beauty of a starlit sky conceals the violent forces at work within our universe. From the upheaval of a giant star that explodes to release its material into space, to a future encounter between the Earth and a large asteroid that is too close for comfort, we will witness the forces that hold the universe together and occasionally try to rip it apart.

Narrated by Patrick Stewart of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the X-Men films.
