A Bundle of Phyz: STARS + THE BIG BANG

This might seem like a bit of a detour from the more traditional physics topics covered in the previous bundles. But "Stars and the Origin of the Universe" is Segment 6 of Physics of the Universe in the NGSS Three-Course Model. And there are no Conceptual Physics Alive or Mechanical Universe episodes in this realm.

This bundle opens with NOVA's "Secrets of the Sun," and The Universe's "Life and Death of a Star." We close our stories of stars with NOVA's "Universe Revealed: Age of Stars".

We widen our gaze with a celebration of the Hubble Space Telescope: NOVA's "Invisible Universe Revealed" and "Universe Revealed: Milky Way". We end at the beginning: NOVA's "Universe Revealed: Big Bang".

I'm a big fan of the "Universe Revealed" series for its contemporary production values and especially the diversity among its cadre of experts. Stunning and exhilarating.
