You might wanna give the entire Boards Of Canada catalog a listen
This is very close!
I guess a lot of documentaries used similar copyright free music, that thus sounded "simpler" (lower production quality).
This is what I was thinking, although I feel some of the samples more represent 70's & 80's
True they might evoke nostalgia for a more 70's/80's vibe. Oneohtrix Point Never is pretty great too. Whoever synth or vaporwave artists are sampling... [edit] edited out a response for op.
If this is music from Cosmos, then look up Vangelis.
Oooh of course, how could I forget them, yes Vangelis is the closest so far!
I'd say New Age - like Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis
Yes, that's the stuff :D
Thanks
I don't think that it actually answers your question, but I would like to point out that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas: a gigantic nuclear furnace.
Not sure if it's what you mean, but synthwave goes very well with anything space-related and fits the time period as well as what you described.
Yeah probably synthwave or close to it if there even was a name for it.
I'm still trying to find examples
Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy, and really evokes the feeling of giant planets and stars. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)
Vaporwave? Smooth jazz? Elevator Music? Lounge Music?
Vaporware specifically is the latter 3 things chopped up together and was often found through random commercial projects like films, ads, etc.
I certainly get what you're talking about; I've always liked that kind of music myself. But I'm not sure if there is a specific name for the style.
Do you mean Trip Hop? A lot of Trip Hop music came out in the 90s. Popular artists were Massive Attack, Portishead, or Tricky among many others
Are you talking about Earth: The Biography and How The Earth Changed History? Stuff like that?
Sadly I don't remember specific titles. When I think of this music I picture badly rendered 3D landscape and violently erupting volcanoes 🤔
Could you be thinking of old educational videos that were played in schools?
Maybe like Bill Nye or Eyewitness?

If you do find an example, it would help a lot to narrow it down

Yeah probably, but I think I also watched stuff like that on TV.

Not the first one, the second one is closer but too "tropical".

I keep searching

This might be similar, though still somewhat tropical
You could also try 'World music'
