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.

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.

The sky above is studded with stars and countless galaxies. In them, we can read not only our origin, but also our final destination. Technology is on the brink of taking us to places we have only dreamed of.

The moon is our closest celestial companion. It lights our night sky and gently tugs at our shores. Few have walked on her surface, but her allure remains strong.

They orbit between our planet and our star. Mercury and Venus make up half of our terrestrial planets, but we still know very little about them. As we take a closer look at our companions, we find more questions than answers.

Mars has fired our imagination for thousands of years. The tantilizing possibility of life has made it the most inviting planet in our solar system. It is the only other place that man may one day call home.

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.

The Fermi Paradox asks the ultimate question: why have alien civilizations not presented themselves?

An advanced $900 million planetary explorer designed to peer across multiple wavelengths to reveal intricate details undetectable by the human eye.

The night sky has always been a source of wonder and mystery. In the quest to explore the universe, our greatest ally is the Hubble telescope.

When the universe formed, all of space blazed white-hot, but it didn't last. Darkness reined for 200 million years before the light was reborn.

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 world of soft robotics, where robots are so human-like they can actually feel things.

The STEM initiative is getting a big boost from both the private, and public, sectors.

Chuck Pell has a conversation in real-time with a hologram of a holocaust survivor.

Future tech is changing the basics of human existence, including our five senses.

Sustainability is a word you’re going to hear a lot more of on the road to 2050.

Artificial Intelligence, or ‘AI’, is all the rage among futurists.

Solar power is the fastest growing power source in the world.

Join host Chuck Pell as Virtual Reality technology recreates ancient cities.

Water covers two thirds of the earth's surface, and we are utterly dependent on it, but when this vital ingredient of life unleashes its fury on the planet it becomes the ultimate bringer of death.

Bridges and tunnels have transformed the way we live, making the inaccessible easy to reach, and turning time-consuming journeys into convenient commutes, but when things go wrong they can go very wrong indeed.

Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates suddenly slip causing shock waves to shake the surface of the Earth. They occur on fault lines - the most active are the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas fault on America's west coast.

Throughout history, ancestors have always strived to go higher, bigger, deeper, further.

Exploring some of history's most ingenious, yet lesser-known engineering solutions.

Building structures and machines to harness water.

Migration, travel and trade are all key components of human life.

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.

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.

From the beginnings of our solar system 4.5 billions years ago, there remain many clues to reveal its evolution. Remnant debris, asteroids, and comets are what's left of the building blocks to our celestial neighborhood.
