The days we are in are the days that are considered historical for space sciences. At the end of last year, the James Webb Space Telescope set off very far, and finally the first images it captured recently were shared. This exciting development is the beginning of an important period in human history because James Webb is thought to show us many things we did not know before.
We all get excited by the stunning photos that are coming in, but do we fully understand their significance? In order for you to say ‘yes’ to this question, we have compiled 5 documentaries that you can watch on Disney+ that will allow you to explore the history of space science, the journey of humans in space and the boundaries of the universe.

5 successful documentaries about space science and the universe that you can watch on Disney+
The last piece of the series with a great narration and visuals: Cosmos: New Worlds
When it comes to understanding the universe better, the Cosmos documentary series, which deals with it from every angle and conveys it in a unique language, is undoubtedly the first choice that comes to mind.
In the last link of the legendary documentary series adapted from Carl Sagan’s original series of the same name, the famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson takes us on a wonderful journey to different corners of the universe to find answers to different questions. If you haven’t watched this documentary series that will allow you to grasp even the most complex topics, you should definitely watch it.
For those who want to better understand all aspects of science: Genius with Stephen Hawking
Would you like to get hands-on answers to science’s most complex questions from Stephen Hawking, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest scientists of our time and is considered the greatest theoretical physicist since Einstein?
In his 2016 documentary series, Hawking, with a group of volunteers, seeks answers to some of the most challenging and complex questions humanity has asked for thousands of years. And it does it in a fun and simple way that anyone can understand. Deha with Stephen Hawking has the answers to many questions, from where the starting point of the universe is to whether we will be able to travel in time one day.
Take a closer look at the most important step in humanity’s space missions: Apollo: Return to the Moon
From the days when we observed bright stars, planets and meteorites with the naked eye, to the days when we sent spacecraft and telescopes into the depths of space, one of the most important steps in our journey of thousands of years was undoubtedly our journey to the Moon.
You should definitely take the time to watch Apollo: Return to the Moon, where you will witness every stage of the Apollo Project and understand why space missions are so challenging and important for humanity.
The story of the difficult journeys of the vehicles that set off into space and the engineering wonders behind it: Our Mission is the Sun
Space agencies of many countries around the world and even private companies frequently launch satellites into space with rockets, and send spacecrafts with special missions millions of kilometers away. Behind this journey lies the long years of work and pushing the limits of engineering.
The story of the spacecraft Parker Solar Probe, which was sent to get to know the star of our system, the Sun, and recently came to the fore with the news that it ‘touched the Sun’ in the past months, will give an idea about what kind of effort all space missions are and what it promises to the scientific world.
The story of SpaceX, which broke ground in space travel: Mars through SpaceX
Of course, when we talk about space, we think of Elon Musk and SpaceX. Because SpaceX’s engineering wonder rockets have made space travel cheaper and easier.
If you want to take a closer look at the details of this historical event and SpaceX’s crazy Mars projects, you should watch the documentary; Mars from Inside SpaceX
