For those interested in science and discovery these two courses on multiple DVD's, are for you. In recent years the world of cosmology has expanded so now we can view the edges of this universe. (For all we know, there may be multiple universes).
The photographs and the teachers will take you to places you have never imagined. Trillions of galaxies, with millions of stars in each, black holes that are continually digesting stars. The interior of black holes that go to where? It was overwhelming to me to get just a small glimpse of what human astronomers and mathematicians have discovered . . . and to better understand what we don't know about the space we live in. How small we are in comparison to that space.

From the BLACK HOLES EXPLAINED write up:
Nearly everyone has heard of black holes, but few people outside of complex scientific fields understand their true nature and their implications for our universe. Black Holes Explained finally makes this awe-inspiring cosmological subject graspable—in just 12 lavishly illustrated lectures. You'll discover the secrets of photon spheres, event horizons, Einstein rings, and other concepts involved in the study of black holes.
