I know this has been asked a bunch of times, but im looking for something that has been released in the last 24 months or so. There have been a lot of great advancements and observations in astronomy the past couple of years and am hoping to watch something a bit more on the bleeding edge.

I love both versions of Cosmos, The Planets, The Universe (I think thats what it is called) etc, but find myself wishing I could have more updated info.

What are your RECENT favorite docs relating to Astronomy?

Forgive me if this is a dumb question.

My understanding is that the International Space Station is modular so that individual modules can be added, removed, and moved around as needed.

If that's the case, why are there plans to deorbit it? Why aren't we just adding new modules and removing the oldest modules one at a time until we've replaced every module, effectively having a "new" ISS every other decade or so?
