Above & Beyond "Buzz" - Soundtrack To Virgin Galactic's New SpaceShipTwo Launch

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:56:01 GMT

When Virgin Galactic were looking for some atmospheric music to herald the launch of their ground-breaking 'SpaceShipTwo', they turned to Above & Beyond. At an event hosted by Richard Branson in the Mojave Desert, the track chosen to accompany the official unveiling of SpaceShipTwo was Above & Beyond's club anthem 'Buzz', which was inspired by the Apollo 11 moon-landing. After the unveiling of the world's first space tourism spacecraft, Above & Beyond performed an exclusive DJ set in front of an audience of 800 dignitaries, celebrities and soon-to-be astronauts, plus the assembled global media. www.aboveandbeyond.nu / www.virgingalactic.com / www.buzzaldrin.com (Footage source: NASA)

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:14:01 GMT

Because of this, there are enormous amounts of energy being transferred...electric, thermal, kinetic and magnetic energy are just a few that keep our universe balanced--and create awesome cosmic events and stellar displays.

HISTORY's The Universe: Season 4- Pulsars and Quasars 10/27 (promo)

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:08:00 GMT

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm/8c on HISTORY. They sort of sound like the same phenomenon, but Pulsars and Quasars are very different. Pulsars are tiny--only a few miles across--but they spin as fast as a kitchen blender and sweep the sky with beacons of radiation that make them appear to flash on and off. They have unbelievably strong magnetic fields, are more accurate than atomic clocks...and they can even tell aliens just where to find the Earth! Quasars are at the other end of the spectrum. Quasars are huge cores of galaxies with black holes that are called "monsters" and which spit lobes of radiating gas called "DRAGNs." Quasars are so far away, we see them as they were only in the distant past--meaning they existed only in the early universe, when they may have played a major role in the creation of the galaxies themselves.

HISTORY's The Universe: Season 4- Liquid Universe 10/20 (promo)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:28:05 GMT

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm/8c on HISTORY. On alien planets, they rain from the sky as scalding iron. On distant moons, even at hundreds of degrees below zero, they slosh around in pristine lakes of methane. They can cover entire planets in miles-deep oceans of electrified hydrogen metal. Or erupt on alien worlds through miles-high geysers. They churn in the interiors of dead stars and even our own planet. They're so rare in the universe, they almost don't exist, but these are the magical liquids of our Liquid Universe.

HISTORY's The Universe: Season 4- Space Wars 10/6 (promo)

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:55:05 GMT

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm/8c on HISTORY. Outer space is already an essential part of America's ability to fight wars. Our military depends on satellites for many things, such as communications, reconnaissance and targeting information. But so far, no country has put weapons into space, although the U.S. and China have both shown they can shoot down satellites with ground-based missiles. If weapons do become a part of space, how will they work, how effective will they be, and what type of damage could they do? From ground-based lasers to telephone-pole sized rods hurtling from space at two miles per second to the far out weapons of the distant future, it's time to "lock and load" for Space Wars.

HISTORY's The Universe: Season 4- The Search for Cosmic Clusters 9/29 (promo)

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:22:01 GMT

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm/8c on HISTORY. They are the one-stop-shopping places for learning all about the nature and variety of stars in the Universe. They're unique, because in clusters, all the stars were born at about the same time, from the same material and all are at the same approximate distance from Earth. This means we can be sure that any differences among them are due to their true natures and not distorted by different distances from Earth and other factors. In this episode, two kinds of star clusters in the galaxy are explored.
