Description and/or Review: 

MEMBER REVIEW: This 1999 Discovery production, narrated by Patrick Stewart, is pretty old. Pluto is a planet, Jupiter has 16 moons, and Orpheus hits the Earth to create the Moon. The graphics are still pretty good. Even though we know now some of the details are different, for the most part they do get it right. And it is interesting to see how much we have learned in the intervening years. Milankovich cycles, Voyager's discoveries, 4.1 billion year old zircons, are some of the advances missing from this video. They also put a lot of emphasis on imminent space exploration, and we all know how that turned out. So know there is old stuff here, but it is still interesting to watch.
