At first glance, the night sky appears calm and peaceful. But travel beyond your line of vision deep into space and the reality is altogether different. Brilliant planetary impacts and wondrous celestial fireworks are commonplace.
Narrated by Robert Redford, Cosmic Collisions reveals the explosive encounters that shaped our solar system, changed the course of life on Earth, and continue to transform our galaxy and universe today. Images from space and visualizations based on cutting-edge scientific data showcase catastrophic planetary meetings, the merging of massive galaxies, and the continual explosions that occur in the center of the Sun.
