Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system. Storms on this gas giant can cover an area bigger than the United States Clouds of the gas race around the planet at over 1000 miles per hour generating fierce electrical storms and lightning.

13.7 billion years ago there was absolutely nothing. No space, no time, and no matter. Naked Science follows the first three seconds of creation when a speck of light appeared from nothing and rapidly expanded into an enormous Universe.

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 next 12 months will see an intense rise in flight tests, demonstration launches and high priority flights. Some are on time others are not. We check the flight status of some of this new hardware and these new capabilities.

For over 50 years we have bombarded Mars with our probes and landers. Spying from orbit to map terrain, finding her strengths and weaknesses. The time nearing for the full scale invasion of the planet- when humans walk on Mars and claim it for their own.

The Amazing Cassini spacecraft and its sibling lander, Huygens, have now concluded their scientific studies, bringing back years of data. Now, Juno piercing the cloak of Jupiter and her distant relative New Horizons at the edge of the solar system.

Soviet Luna 3 was the first to use gravity to change course to photograph the dark side of the Moon. NASA Mariner 10 used the technique to swing by Venus to target Mercury. The gravity sling shot maneuver has become a standard for space navigation.

We have been observing Earth for 40 years now, in the last 20 we have focus with intensity on the planet with new technologies and capabilities, we have accumulated a mass of data that is now revealing a complex and ever changing living planet.

Space is vast, yet it is full of collisions. Gas and dust electrostatically flock together, and gravity takes over coalescing grains into rocks. Those rocks become boulders, then asteroids colliding again and again, striking planets and each other.

Gravity keeps us on the ground and the planets in their orbits, yet we only notice it when it's not there. In space we cheat gravity; falling just as fast but missing the ground. Now this fundamental universal force is slowly giving up its secrets.

The interface between Earth and space is the Ionosphere, a region of rarified gas and charged particles. It is very important for radio communications, radar, satellite signals and global positioning. Yet we know so little about it.

They key ingredient to life in the universe is water. Until recently we thought Earth was the only place in the solar system to have any water at all. Now that probes are peering around nearby worlds we are finding that is just not the case.

Gravity has long been a force that has intrigued scientists. Now, for the first time scientists are probing to detect gravity waves in space as well as mapping the gravity patterns of the moon.

For more than 25 years the shuttle was our ticket to space, and our laboratory in orbit. Uncover the legacy of this amazing machine, and see what lies ahead.

Mars sparks our curiosity like no other planet because it is so reachable. Despite having landed there, most of the information we gather is still done by instruments in the planet's orbit.

This episode traces our view of the Milky Way, from the mythology of ancient skywatchers to the efforts of scientists to map it from the inside out.

When it comes to the birth of the universe, not even the most creative work of imagination can rival what science has revealed about the Big Bang.

Mercury is one of Earth's closest neighbors, but until very recent exploratory missions, it eluded astronomers' best efforts to learn its secrets.

Cosmic rays can tell us much about the universe. They are not simply another form of light, but carriers of information about powerful and unseen processes at work thousands or even millions of light years away.

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.

Volcanoes are Earth's geologic architects. They've created more than 80 percent of our planet's surface and their explosive force has crafted both mountains and craters.

Tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground. Tornadoes are capable of completely destroying well-made structures, uprooting trees, and hurling objects through the air like deadly missiles

Mass transit's impact is immense, connecting the world smoothly. Yet, accidents disrupt lives - colliding trains, falling planes, sinking ships - taking countless lives and leaving devastation in their wake.

Nature's disasters are formidable, but human progress poses its own risks. As we expand, evolve, and advance technologically, unforeseen errors can lead to breathtakingly catastrophic outcomes.

Temples, designed to honor the Gods, have been at the heart of cities since earliest times.

Without water, civilization is simply not possible; Romans took control of their water seriously.

As far back as the Bronze Age, humans were building ships capable of crossing oceans and trading.

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

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.
