The Universe: How the Solar System was Made
At 4.6 billion years old, the Solar System is our solid, secure home in the Universe. But how did it come to be? In this episode we trace the system's birth from a thin cloud of dust and gas. Shocked by a nearby supernova, the pull of gravity and natural rotation spun it into a flat disc from which the Sun and planets coalesced. It all happened in the space of 700 million years, during which the planets jockeyed for position, dodging the brutal bombardment of deadly asteroids and setting into the neat, stable system that we now realize might be a rarity in the universe.

Reviews
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
