TV: How the universe works

[Tugboat]

Has anyone been watching "How the universe works" on the discovery channel?

Although pitched at a fairly basic level, I found the presentation style very engaging and would recommend it to others.

On a similar note, while flicking through the on demand sections of Virgin Media last night, I found "Stephen Hawking's universe". It covers much of the same ground as "How the universe works", is similar in style of presentation, but is a little more in depth. Again I found it very interesting (although I have to admit I fell asleep during the 2hr final part - will have to rewatch that tonight!).

I've been watching 'How the universe works' and have another recorded to watch when I get time.

I think its really good too.

I was gobsmacked at the size of stars compared to our sun! (eg. vy Canis Majoris)
