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!

I totally belive there is there’s life on other planets.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is life on other olanets.
There has to be some sort of life on other planets. If you look at the vast enormity of the Universe why would Earth be the only planet with life?
The universe holds many unanswered answers for life as we know it
Although the Big Dipper is easily identified, my favorite goes to the North Star and how it has served as a celestial compass in history past and present.
This is a great contest. Thanks.
I used to love astronomy and got away from it for a while, but went to Maine this summer and spent several nights laying out by the river looking up at the most stars I’d ever seen.
I bought a new constellation book and tried to locate things… not a lot of luck.
I also am fascinated by black holes and read everything I can about them.
I too like the Big Dipper. I always look for the North Star. There is boung to be life of some kind on the other planets!
To me the constellations suggest the outlines of alien diaper bags.
I like the big dipper
i love sitting outside and just looking into the sky just hoping to see a falling star!
Universe is a fabulous series that can be watched over and over again.
I love this series, Universe. I wish everyone watched and became better educated.
I believe there is other life out there somewhere!
the big dipper
We are always watching SiFi shows on History Channel, very interesting! I do believe there is live on other planets.
I look for the Big and Little Dipper every night when I let the dogs out.
i want warp speed! (of any other ftl capability)
I want the Space Elevator idea to be pushed forward and funded!
I’ve always been interested in the idea of parallel universes. Whether or not such a thing exists is beyond me, of course, but the idea that there’s something out there that’s extremely similar to our own planet is intriguing. And kinda scary.
I’m answering all 3 of the suggested topics b/c they’re super interesting! I’ve lived in my hometown most of my life and star-gazing isn’t the easiest thing to do in a large town so Orion’s belt was always my favorite constellation usually because it was the only one I could spot consistently with a naked eye. I’d love to get the chance to go into space but I doubt I’ll pick up a spare $20 mil that would enable me to do so! And I do believe there’s life (at least on a cellular level) on other planets, mainly those outside of our solar system. The universe is so unfathomably large and we’ve only just begun to really branch out so how could there not be?
