How The Universe Works is a science documentary television series that provides scientific explanations about the inner workings of the universe and everything it encompasses.[1][2] With the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and visual effects, each episode presents and narrates a topic about the universe (e.g.: the origin of the universe, the formation and the evolution of the Solar System, and the origin and behavior of life), which then are complemented with scientific insights from leading scientists of organizations such as NASA and CERN.[3]

The series originally aired on the Discovery Channel in 2010. All but the second, third and eighth seasons were narrated by Mike Rowe.[4] The second, third and eighth seasons, as well as episodes of the fifth and sixth seasons, were narrated by Erik Todd Dellums.[5]

The show's fifth season aired from November 22, 2016, through February 7, 2017. The sixth season premiered on January 9, 2018, and ran through March 13, 2018.
