Travel back in time before it expires on August 8.

In this episode of “Ancient Skies,” we complete the puzzle of our skies, collecting the missing pieces required for an accurate model of our universe. We break through the spheres that defined our skies for millennia, abandon the long-held idea of circular orbits, discover new neighbors in our solar system and begin to comprehend the enormity of our ever-growing universe.

‘Walking with Dinosaurs: A Viewer’s Guide’

Walk alongside these incredible creatures before the program expires on August 9.

Take an exhilarating journey through time and dive into the wonder and adventure of dinosaurs. “Walking with Dinosaurs: A Viewer’s Guide” highlights the most exciting and unforgettable moments from the “Walking with Dinosaurs” series and spotlights six different species of main characters. It also visits with dinosaur-hunter paleontologists in Eastern Montana, the Sahara Desert, Utah, Western Canada and Portugal.

‘Expedition with Steve Backshall: Expedition Unseen’

Join in on the exciting expedition before it leaves on August 10.

Steve Backshall ventures deeper into the unknown, shining a light on unexplored corners of the planet. On a mission to discover fresh insights that could help to secure a future for the world’s wildlife, Backshall and his hand-picked team of experts dive with sharks in Mexico’s Eastern Pacific, search for apes in Africa’s unexplored jungles, paddle into the heart of brown bear territory and more.

‘Jamestown’

Catch up on all three seasons before it expires on August 11.

In the 17th century, on the edge of the untamed Virginian wilderness, sits the English colony of Jamestown. The settlement barely survived its first decade but is on the brink of change with the arrival of a new governor and 90 so-called “maids to make brides.”

‘NOVA: Killer Volcanoes’

Learn more about these natural phenomena before this program expires on August 16.

“NOVA” follows a team of volcano sleuths as they embark on a worldwide hunt for an elusive volcanic mega-eruption that plunged medieval Earth into a deep freeze. They look for the signature of a volcanic eruption big enough to have blasted a huge cloud of ash and sulfuric acid into the atmosphere, which chilled the entire planet. Across the globe, it turned summer into winter.

‘Ancient Invisible Cities’

Explore beautiful cities and their history in “Athens,” “Cairo” and “Istanbul” before they leave on August 30.

Professor Darius Arya explores the hidden secrets of three of the most fascinating cities of the ancient world: Cairo, Athens and Istanbul. 3D scans allow us to view the architectural jewels of these cities as they’ve never been seen before.
