It’s been fifty years since man traveled into space and we’re just now discovering the secrets of the stars and the planets. The Universe makes good use of the advances in both science and TV production technology to bring this new world to life.
This season’s episodes include space disasters, parallel universes, light speed and sex in space. Hey, if we’re ever going to colonize other planets, we gotta figure this stuff out!
In honor of this new season (which premieres tonight at 9pm ET/PT) we’re giving away a great Universe prize pack from The History Channel. After you enter our contest, enter The Universe: Hunt Through History Sweepstakes for your chance to win a trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center

I’ve always liked the Big and Little Dippers because they’re the easiest to find in the sky and there’s something kind of magical about finding constellations in the stars.
There has to be more life out there!
Orions belt is pretty cool because it’s the easiest to pick out!
A universally wonderful game show – allowing me to view the Universe in all it’s wonders – such as flowers and fauna
The universe is so big that there has to be more than just us.
I can usually find the belt of Orion when it’s there.
My son is just getting into the Universe. he loves going to the Planeterium. This would be a good gift.
Orion has always been my favorite constellation.
It would have to be the big and little dipper. They were the first ones I was taught about at girl scout camp many moons ago. I am not sure if I believe there are other life forms but, my mind is open to it. Thanks!
The big dipper!
I have a 10 year old grandson that is intensely interested in space. We both believe there is life on otherlanets ad he is intent on discovering it. He and his father watch all the shows on space. He is gifted in Science and Math. I would so love to win this for him. Thank you for a great contest, interesting question and mind opening programing
If it is considered a constellation I guess the Big Dipper would be my favorite. I have NO – repeat, NO astronaut ambitions. I prefer to keep my feet planted on terra firma. I think there could be life on other planets.
We are not alone!
I think humans have an integral bias toward planets, which is getting in our way.
Actually, given that our solar system shares the “shoals” of its Oort cloud with those of the OTHER nearest stars (because OURS extends out approx three light years, more than halfway to Alpha Centauri, therefore overlapping Alpha Centauri’s Oort cloud) the odds are huge that the absolutely largest reef-system ecology in the universe is out ~there~ in the cold and dark. Watching us. Contemplating us. Debating… us.
I usually leave the Science Fiction genre to my husband – I personally believe there are stranger things in our universe than we CAN imagine… “Conventional” life is probably the least of it.
I see no reason why there couldn’t be.
Why shouldn’t there be life on other planets? Please enter me in your drawing for The Universe. Thank you.
Yes, I do believe that there is some form of life on other planets. We can’t be the only living beings in a universe so large.
I’ve always wanted to travel into space. I don’t think I’ll be able to do it in my lifetime but I hope that my son can experience it one day.
The acne on my forehead is its own constellation.
I think it would be awfully arrogant to NOT think there is life on other planets!!
