Wonders of the Solar System (Blu-ray)

As originally produced by and aired on Britain's BBC, this ambitious science-themed documentary miniseries transports viewers to the farthest reaches of the extraterrestrial universe, for spectacular glimpses of various physical formations in space. Examples include massive storms of red dust, ice fountains that extend over 100km high, volcanoes aggressive enough to rip a planet to pieces, and much more. The series applies advanced CGI techniques to static images photographed throughout the universe, thus transforming the inanimate into the animate. Professor Brian Cox, a British particle physicist, hosts.
