Professor Walter H.G. Lewin is quite famous for his lectures on physics at MIT. Professor Lewin is heavily involved in studying x-ray sources. He brings astrophysics into his lecture when ever possible. The three lecture series is open source and includes:

• Physics I: Classical Mechanics
• Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism
• Physics III: Vibrations and Waves

In lecture one, he shows the class the film Power of 10 with Philip Morrison, but it does not show up in the video due to copyright issues, but is available on the web (follow the link). An updated interactive version is also available.
