Here you will find a collection of the best scientific documentaries available online. Focus here is on quality above quantity. There is an endless heap of documentaries that are "scientific" but in fact are not, instead filled with metaphysical ideas, UFOs, bio energies and other meta-sciences. You will not find those here. Other thing is the quantity of information in every documentary itself, often being very low but instead full of special effects and dramatic monologue. Hopefully you won't find those here either.

What you will find are informative, revealing, interesting, mind-boggling and above all scientific documentaries about the marvels of the world surrounding us, or the marvels of human ingenuity.

If We Had No Moon

This documentary starts with an interesting question: how would Earth look like if there was no Moon?
It has a surprising set of answers. In short, the planet Earth would be a much different place then it is now. Probably there wouldn't be human life on the planet, days would last only four hours, winds would blow at hurricane force and there would be a dense and toxic atmosphere resembling that of Venus. It also deals about the origin of the Moon, so it seems that it was formed by a massive planetary collision with the debris forming our satellite.
Oh, it also features Patrick Stewart making me waiting all the time to hear "Engage!"
