For two and a half years we followed the scientific team of the NASA Lucy Mission a mission that will unveil the origins of the Solar System and shared with them the many challenges they had to overcome such as a countdown to launch on time the building of the huge solar arrays or a pandemic.
Billions of years ago, Venus may have harbored life-giving habitats similar to those on the early Earth. Today, Earth's twin is a planet knocked upside down and turned inside out. Its burned-out surface is a global fossil of volcanic destruction, shrouded in a dense, toxic atmosphere. Scientists are now unveiling daring new strategies to search for clues from a time when the planet was alive.
Following engineers and scientists on a groundbreaking mission as they build, test and launch the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful observatory ever constructed, and discovers the astonishing cosmological mysteries it will investigate.
The story of America's first astronauts, known as the Mercury 7, told through archival news & radio reports, newly transferred & previously unheard NASA mission audio recordings, and more rare & unseen material.
For thirty years, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered new alien worlds, black holes, and the age of the universe itself; NASA astronauts reveal the secret history of the life-or-death missions to keep this complex machine working.
In this two-part series, we take a look at the monumental discoveries underway, specifically surrounding black holes and meteorites. Black holes have been revealed as one of the foundations for the basic conditions of life. Through black holes, life is possible in an infinite number of places in space. We also follow how meteorites brought the basic substances of life to our planet, allowing for its creation. The films describe the latest findings concerning cosmic events in relation to the origin of life, providing a grandiose perspective of what makes life possible.
The vast emptiness of the Universe hides countless unsolved mysteries and riddles. In the deepest darkness of outer space, there lurk many striking objects with unusual and sometimes even anomalous properties. Despite all the research, we have learnt only a very small part of the incredible diversity of the Universe, and today we will take a plunge into its most mysterious depths. Our virtual journey will begin alongside the legendary Voyagers, which have been travelling through the expanses of space for decades now. After whizzing through the icy darkness of interstellar space, we will visit several of our nearest stars, including the amazing Alpha Centauri. And after that, we will dive into the uncharted depths of the Milky Way to find rogue planets hidden in the darkness.
The Hubble Space Telescope has spent more than 30 years scrutinizing the cosmos in an attempt to unravel the secrets of the Universe and go as close as possible to its origin. But Hubble has also become the superstar of space, offering us magnificent paintings of the Universe.
A team of Indian scientists at ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) take on the extraordinary task of successfully sending a satellite into the orbit of planet Mars in a country's maiden attempt.
BBC Horizon Documentary. Jupiter, the largest and fastest rotating planet among the eight major planets in the solar system, is the fifth planet from the inside out. This film tells the latest information from NASA's Juno Jupiter probe, unveiling the wonders of Jupiter.
Twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly were separated for almost a year, undergoing intensive measurements when one was in space and one was on Earth. But that was only the beginning of their scientific odyssey. "Beyond A Year in Space," PBS and Time's follow-up documentary to last year's — which followed Scott Kelly from launch to landing — chronicles Kelly's return to life on Earth and the extensive medical testing the duo undergo to determine exactly what changes have occurred as a result of his record-breaking stay on the International Space Station. The documentary also follows two new astronauts, Jessica Meir and Victor Glover, training to go even further.
