A visually spectacular hour from BBC Earth's science strand, built around the universe's most extreme objects, neutron stars spinning hundreds of times a second, galaxies colliding in slow motion. It is a showcase for the imagery, ideal if you want cosmic scale and gorgeous 4K over dense theory.

This BBC Earth Science film explores the most mind-bending phenomena in the universe, from neutron stars spinning hundreds of times a second to galaxies colliding in slow motion. It combines cutting-edge astronomy with some of the most spectacular visuals ever made for a space documentary. Presented in 4K, it turns the strangeness of the cosmos into a feast for the eyes. It is a dazzling journey through the wonders of deep space. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
