We’re going back to the moon. Plans are being made, hardware is being designed, built, and tested to return humans to the moon and beyond in a new era of American space exploration. This episode explores how we did it in the past, and how and why we will do it again. The moon is critical to future explorations: it will be where we learn to build sustainable colonies on other worlds.

Once they were dreaded and thought to be dragons eating the sun--but modern science has dispelled mythology and we now look forward to total Solar Eclipses as one of the most spectacular phenomena in the heavens. Explore the complex movements of Earth, Moon and Sun that produce these unusual events and hear details why we may be the only intelligent beings in the known Universe to witness eclipses like we see on Earth. Man-made eclipses also figure into the science in the form of instruments called "coronagraphs." They blot out the sun and reveal its corona, uncovering secrets which, while enlightening, also warn of a disaster that could make our advanced technology crash and burn. Finally, travel into deep space, where the tiny eclipses caused by planets circling distant stars is now beginning to reveal hundreds more stars where "exoplanets" exist... perhaps even those in habitable zones like the Earth.

Embark on an extraordinary journey across our cosmic neighborhood to witness the hidden wonders of planets, moons, and asteroids—each world more astonishing than the last. Cutting-edge imaging and breathtaking visuals unveil the solar system in ways never imagined, revealing alien landscapes, colossal storms, and secrets that challenge everything we know about our place in the universe.
In the first episode, you can explore volcanic realms where otherworldly landscapes are sculpted by fire and ice. Discover planets and moons blanketed with enormous volcanoes, some erupting so violently that plumes rise into the darkness of space. From oceans of molten rock to frozen geysers launching towering jets of vapor, these spectacular worlds showcase the raw power and beauty of nature beyond Earth.
