- A successful Indian scientist returns to an Indian village to take his nanny to America with him and in the process rediscovers his roots.
- Solarmax is a 40-minute giant-screen documentary that tells the story of humankind's struggle to understand the sun. The film will take audiences on an incredible voyage from pre-history to the leading edge of today's contemporary solar science.
- Dramatic forces reshape Earth's climate every day. Using an astounding collection of satellite imagery, novel time lapse footage, and inventive 360 photography, Frozen presents those places on Earth most susceptible to rapid change.
- The Earth is not flat. That's the conceptual spark for a new film created at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Using an advanced media projection technology called Science On a Sphere developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), FOOTPRINTS is the first fully produced film of its kind. The movie presents advanced satellite data and other visual effects on a dramatic spherical screen, affording viewers a chance to experience planets and planetary science in a way that's more natural to their actual appearance. The Earth guest stars in a variety of guises, from depictions of the biosphere to planetary views of city lights at night to dramatic examinations about the science of hurricane formation. Other moons and planets make exciting cameos too, with special presentations of Mars and Earth's moon. What's more, the two agencies have announced that they're releasing this new production to a consortium of science museums that already have Spheres on display. In ten U.S. cities this fall FOOTPRINTS will join other supporting Spheres on public exhibition.
- Follow scientists and engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center as they build the X-ray Telescopes and an X-ray Spectrometer for the Japanese X-ray Observatory Astro-E2 mission. These instruments use unique technologies to provide light-weight but sensitive instruments. We see the team face and overcome challenges, as well as their interactions with the Japanese colleagues. This program also describes the science of spectroscopy and what the satellite helps us to learn about objects such as black holes. The included educator guide provides instructions for using the "Building the Coolest X-ray Satellite" DVD in the classroom. The guide includes discussion questions and activities related to the program content. The topics covered include science careers, optics, cryogenics, X-ray astronomy and working on an international project.
- Is it Real examines whether there is life on Mars. It examines the controversial "Martian Face" and talks to scientists about the possibility of microscopic life on Mars.
- NASA satellite data and footage give new insight into the ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest, the plant life of the oceans as a barometer of the health of the seas, and the nature of violent storms.
