Earth has an evil twin. Venus. It is shrouded in a lethal atmosphere of carbon dioxide and acid rain. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead and the pressure high enough to crush a nuclear submarine.

The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of rock and iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and it still orbits happily around the sun.

By far the largest planet, 1300 times the size of Earth, it’s a world so enormous it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system and still have room to spare.

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.

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.

The Hubble Telescope is nearing its end, the replacements are ready to go, ready to peer further back in time and space than can be imagined.

Color is essential to both art and astronomy. When measured, it can tell us the temperature, chemical composition, and motion of astronomical objects.

For most of human history, the night sky seemed two-dimensional. To our ancestors, this perspective gave no hint to the universe's true depth.

The Hubble telescope finds design on a grand scale, especially when it zooms in on the spiral galaxies that populate the universe around us.

The core of a galaxy attracts our eyes and makes up feel like we are gazing down a deep well. But this illusion conceals an even deeper truth.

There are hundreds of moons in our solar system. Could one of them be a hidden haven that harbors alien life forms?

In the far depths of space, out of reach of the Sun's warmth, water can only exist in a super solid state. Some small moons, in fact, are made entirely of ice. What stories do these Icy Gems have to tell about our solar system?

Scientist long thought that our solar system consisted of the sun, the planets, and their moons. We soon found that we are far from alone, often coming into contact with asteroids, comets, and other debris.

The diversity, complexity, and downright beauty of our own solar system is astounding. Could such beauty exist in other parts of the universe as well? Thanks to modern science, we now have the capability to see for ourselves.

Landing a spacecraft on Mars is no easy task given our limited knowledge of the planet. The difference between success and failure can rely on the most minute detail.

Gravity is one of the most basic and powerful forces shaping our universe. Discover its nature within our own solar system, from the smallest moons to the largest planets.

For centuries, it was was thought that Saturn was the most distant planet in our Solar System. With the evolution of the telescope, we discovered the rest of our planets, both elusive and mysterious.

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.
