The Great Lakes are sometimes referred to as inland seas; they are the largest freshwater system in the world. Naked Science examines the early history of these amazing bodies

The Earth hurtles through space protected by an invisible force field, known as a magnetosphere.

As scientists and astronomers peer more closely and with evermore fidelity at nearby stars, they are discovering countless exo planets. How many Earth-like planets are out there? Could one of them hold life not so different from our own?

The night sky is a time machine. The further we look out into the universe, the further back in time we reach. Most of what we see is actually dark matter and dark energy, but its nature eludes us ... for the moment.

Who are these people that venture into space? Once they were test pilots, then scientists and engineers now teachers, politicians and paying tourists what does it take to earn the astronaut wings?

The new surge in space transportation, privately owned companies vying for government contracts and private entrepreneurs looking to build hotels in space.

Chances are, you are watching this program by satellite, one way or the other. Every day we use these wonders of human design, from communication and weather observation, to GPS and recourse management.

With low Earth orbit delegated to private companies, NASA is free to develop the deep space hardware for missions to Mars and beyond. The Orion space craft and SLS launch system are well on their way to delivering this capability.

Air, water, food, electricity and fuel all the essentials to explore the solar system, this episode explores the innovative plans for astronauts to grow their own food and extract water and fuel at their destinations.

NASA and others are developing new innovative propulsion systems, Ion thrusters, solar sails and the science fiction 'Warp drive' is not as far away as once thought.

Deserts and dunes, cliffs and canyons. Although Mars is certainly an alien wasteland, it is a planet with terrestrial formations remarkably similar to those found on Earth.

Although we have put man on the moon, our silent partner still holds many mysteries. What haven't we seen? What haven't we discovered?

The arid shores of other planets tell the stories of their past. What did they look like, and could they have ever supported life?

Without the Sun's warmth and light, life as we know it would not exist. It is the powerhouse of our planet and provides the energy we need to survive.

Our understanding of the cosmos is limited by the amount of time we have to see it. Fortunately, computer simulations can help us see how galaxies interact over millions of years, and even how dark matter structures the universe.

The Atacama desert is a perfect place for watching the night sky. With still winds and only a handful of cloudy nights each year, it allows scientists to get the absolute most out of their tools.

Before we can reach space, we must first be able to see it. Hundreds of years ago, the simple telescope was used to give us a seemingly closer vantage. Today, we use the awe-inspiring, and super powerful, Hubble Space Telescope.

Discover the most powerful telescopes on the planet as they search for the mysteries of the universe.

The human eye can only see visible light, a small spectrum of electromagnetic waves. Today, we have instruments that let us perceive all wavelengths.

This episode explores how we will deal with our changing water supply in the future.

You may not have a robot in your home now, but odds are you will within the next decade.

Robots are no longer science fiction, they are a fact of science and their creators are featured.

Nature is inspiring all sorts of futuristic designs.

As society advances new technologies are applied to what we learn and the ways we learn it.

The materials that go into our vehicles, homes, and appliances are undergoing a revolution.

Sound - you don’t think much about it, but futurists and entrepreneurs do.

High tech is revolutionizing the way kids learn AND the way teachers teach.

When hundreds of people see a nighttime fireball over Salt Lake City, Steve and Geoff race to Utah. After searching and communicating with radar expert Rob Matson, they conclude any surviving meteorites must have landed on military property.

The guys are on their way to the Northeast Astronomy Forum in New York for a personal appearance, when a large fireball is seen over rural Wisconsin. Geoff continues on to NEAF to hold down the fort, while Steve begins an all-night drive to the fall site.

Geoff and Steve cross the Arctic Circle on one of their most daring expeditions yet. With the help of a Swedish meteorite-hunting family, the guys attempt to uncover ancient space rocks that were transported by glaciers during the last Ice Age.

Steve and Geoff head on an ambitious expedition. On the far side of the world, they cross the Nullarbor Plainand reach the remote Mundrabilla strewnfield. They team up with Australian meteorite specialist Dr. Andy Tomkins.

Humans refine and evolve weapons designs over the millennia to gain the upper hand.

Pioneering breakthroughs from across the globe shape the ability to travel.

The first data-recording device from over 5,000 years ago; how weaving creates binary code.

From living in caves to grand mansions, shelter has always been high on the list of priorities.

Almost every culture on Earth tells the story of an ancient flood – details vary but the basic plot is the same - An angry God wipes out an unrepentant population.

Superflares are amongst the greatest events of the Universe. These magnetic explosions can release energy millions of times greater than atomic bombs. They produce streams of highly energetic particles which can be highly destructive to life.

Hurricanes are one of the most destructive weather events to strike our planet and have the same power as a nuclear weapon.

The threat of an asteroid strike is a very real danger in our solar system, mankind is now in a position to defend the planet from such an eventuality.
