Try the "a very short introduction to...." series. I think these are great small scale primers on various topics and there are individual books on a wide range of physics and cosmological topics!
I thought this show was great. The science may have been simple but it captured the awe inspiring scale and majesty of cosmic scale reality.
The highlight? a casually placed clipped of sunset on mars as filmed by the spirit rover. thats sunset. on fucking mars! utterly crazy. Its footage that never fails to send shivers down my spine (much like the hygens landing on titan footage) truly incredible.
Also loved the stuff about voyager passing beyond the heliopause. Am i right of thinking that something weird is happening with voyager 1? like its accelerating unexpectedly or something?
the whole deal just made me think of carl sagan really.
