The Planets, an A&E educational series, explores the universe through previously unreleased NASA footage, consultations with scientific specialists including astronomers and astronauts, and telescope and satellite images combined with computer-generated graphics and effects. Vol. 1: Different Worlds retraces the history of our solar system back to the creation of the sun and its planets, and then explores their various surfaces. It is appropriate for middle school and high school classes on science, technology, astronomy, and world history. ~ Sarah Sloboda, All Movie Guide
