Dark stars, death rays, little green men, killer rocks, cosmic scrap, and the big sleep make up the six cases – each featuring a different deadly danger lurking in the depths of space. The conclusion – Earth is in the firing line. It’s not a matter of if these things will strike, it’s only a matter of when.
Killers Of the Cosmos, Science Channel’s all-new series, looks at the awe-inspiring threats and wonders of space. Exploring supermassive black holes, deadly gamma-ray bursts, rogue asteroids, dark energy, supernovas, and the feelings of unease they can stir, episodes take a film-noir approach to these threats, mixing scripting, animated drama, and top experts in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, biology, cosmology, and planetary science. The series premieres Sunday, September 19 at 9 PM ET/PT on Science Channel and streaming on discovery+.
