One brilliant one was called From Earth to Miranda.<br /><br />It was a documentary charting the Pioneer 10 & 11 & Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft.<br /><br />It was originally made in January 1987. An updated verisin was made in 1990, to<br />include the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune & Triton, although it was still called From <br />Earth to Miranda.<br /><br />I agree with your three.<br /><br />Cosmos with Carl Sagan IMO is now getting very dated, but is still a great series.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

The PBS Nova episodes on Voyager's encounters with Jupiter and Saturn were excellent.<br /><br />But good luck trying to find them . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Hi vogan13.<br /><br />I have not heard of those. Sounds a bit like From Earth to Miranda., but probably<br />in greater depth.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

<i>The Astronomers</i> by PBS (Donald Goldsmith). Excellent series. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Elegant Universe <br /><br />More about physics than cosmology, a good watch nonetheless. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#0000ff" class="Apple-style-span">"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." - Homer Simpson</span></div> </div>

I really haven't seen that many space documentaries the past few years. I watched every space documentary for years though that I could and they all mostly started to kinda bore me. Just thinking of how far the planets really are from the sun just amazes me.<br /><br />I really liked Bill Nye The Science Guy (though his shows really aren't documentaries, I think) But, on this one show he was on his bike and stopped on the side of the road and said, "this balloon/orange ball represents the sun." It was about three sizes of that of a large beach ball. Bill then road two miles from the ball representing the sun. He then took out a ball representing the earth that was about the size of a marble. Bill says, "the distance this ball representing the earth is two miles away from the sun. That is how far earth is from the sun to model scale." He went on talking about how far all the planets were. I think he ended up riding his bike over 20 miles to the furthest planet. <br /><br />I just like how he can tell and show things about space in such a manner.
