Shows how the spectroscope, radio and optical telescopes are used to provide information about the origin of comets, meteors and planetoids. Special effects show the meteor shower of 1833, the approach of Halley's comet and the movements of planetoids.
A giant scorpion attacks a girl!
A 6-minute animated movie about NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, asteroid Bennu, and the formation of our solar system.
The film features amazing scenes of places never before seen gathered by key space missions that culminated with groundbreaking discoveries in 2015. It features a spectacular flight though the great cliffs on comet 67P, a close look at the fascinating bright "lights" on Ceres, and the first ever close ups of dwarf binary planet Pluto/Charon and its moons.
When an asteroid hits the Earth leading to underwater volcanic eruptions, the inhabitants of a small riverside town start to flee inland. Before she leaves, Nian decides to say goodbye to her childhood friend. Her memories of the town start to become clearer and clearer in her mind on this journey.
Spacecraft OSIRIS-REx attempts to grab a piece of an asteroid to bring back to Earth so scientists can study it to learn about the planet's origins.
A man on his way to work finds out that a giant asteroid is headed for earth. The end of all life on the planet is imminent. The big question... should he continue going in?
Faced with the risk of collision with the Earth, space agencies are refining their observations on the course of asteroids in our galaxy. A documented state of the art of the current programs.
Investigates the greatest vanishing act in the history of our planet - the sudden disappearance of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
An advanced alien civilization builds a simulated reality where infinite beings, including humans, are imprisoned.
A fatalistic woman is being stalked by an incoming, four mile-wide (talking) asteroid who has fallen in love with her.
After an AI robot on an asteroid mining facility disappears under mysterious circumstances the company sends an investigator.
What if the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs struck again today? Would humans survive? Or would we go the way of the dinosaurs? Join me on a wild tour through a hypothetical apocalypse — and see what it would take for humanity to cling on through the worst disaster in the last 250 million years.
In an alternate universe, the dinosaurs have roared one too many times before the asteroid hits Earth. The consequences that follow could be catastrophic.
Wry, cynical and full of off-beat humor, 'Apocalypse, CA' is the story of friends as they prepare for certain death at the hands of a massive asteroid, sex-inducing drugs, a three-hundred foot giant, and a horde of other absurd problems.

However, unbeknownst to the team, there is a killer on board determined to take control of the asteroid and destroy all mankind.
Venture into deep space for a fascinating look at asteroids, their cosmic origins and the potential threat they pose to our world. Written and produced by Phil Groves, produced by Jini Durr and directed by W.D. Hogan, Asteroid Hunters introduces asteroid scientists – the best line of defense between Earth and an asteroid’s destructive path – and reveals the cutting-edge tools and techniques they use to detect and track asteroids, and the technology that may one day protect our planet. The effects of an asteroid impact could be catastrophic and while the current probability of an event in our lifetime is low, the potential consequences make the study of asteroids an incredibly important area of scientific research. Witness the latest in planetary defense and how science, ingenuity and determination combine to explore the world’s most preventable natural disaster.
