Over the past week or so I’ve watched a number of TV shows featuring the Hubble Space Telescope. The images that are gathered from the scope in space are absolutely fascinating. I’ve always had an interest in everything space related since I was a child. In fact, I’ve got an image of the Eagle Nebula set as a wallpaper on my Mac.

Starting tonight, there are  number of TV shows on the National Geographic channel deadicated to, Space. I’ve listed the shows below:

Space Week
Take a bold and compelling look at what the future will hold for our planet, the Milky Way and the entire universe.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe
Fusing images and information from spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope and the world’s biggest telescopes, this is the first accurate exploration of the cosmos, from our planet to the rest of the universe.

Cosmic Monsters
Take a virtual journey starting in the early days of the universe and the creation of the stars, right down to the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, where a truly hungry monster sits a supermassive black hole.

Hubble’s Final Frontier
The Hubble Space Telescope is responsible for mapping the skies in such a way that it seems inconceivable that the final frontier of space could ever have been successfully breached without it. Astronauts are preparing a dangerous mission to refurbish it once more before being succeeded by the James Webb Telescope.

Death of the Universe
A look at how it all might end. Will the cosmos be torn apart atom by atom in a cataclysmic finale, or will the universe continue to expand forever as its nuclear furnaces grow cold and die?

Martian Robots
Since 2004, two intrepid explorers have been trekking across the surface of Mars. Surviving in the hostile landscape and persevering in the face of elemental and mechanical difficulties, rovers Spirit and Opportunity now face the final stretch of their mission.
