"The Cowboy Astronomer" features star tales and Native American legends combined with constellation identification, star-hopping and astronomy tidbits, all told from the viewpoint of a cowboy astronomer.

"MarsQuest" traces a centuries-long cultural and scientific fascination with Mars, weaving a narrative of what the planet means to humanity.

"Oasis in Space" takes audiences on a voyage through the universe, galaxy and solar system in search of water, a key ingredient for life on Earth.
