Good space documentaries?

[Hummmy]

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a name or something to a good documentary on space, planets, black holes etc, just.. Basically what we know about space so far.

I found one kind of what I'm looking after a quick Google search;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_%28documentary%29

That was nearly what I'm after, it's just it was released in 2001. So yeah, something a bit more current.

Thankyou!

Even though the presenter is a bit self indulgent at times (and sometimes a little too cheery and annoying), I would recommend The wonders of the solar system/Universe with Professor Brian Cox.

It's very informing, and it's told in such a way that it never gets boring or dull.

He's also infamous for his weird space diagrams.


Yeah, you could tell that this program is targeted for the stoner generation lawl.

Since Wonders of the Universe/Solar System was already recommended, I'll recommend History Channel's The Universe. Really great show, and there are 5 seasons, so any thing your interested in is likely covered. Its fairly current, Season 5 came out last year. Lots of full episodes on Youtube if you want to check it out.

The Brian Cox series would be my first choice though.
