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.

Naked Science follows the story of a diamond from the creation of carbon inside the heart of a dying sun, through to the cutting of a diamond mine in South Africa.

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.

The life cycle of stars reveal to us the past and the future of Earth and ourselves.

In terms of the Universe, we know we don't know much, especially when it comes to dark matter and dark energy. Scientists are devoting so much of their time to discovering as much as the possibly can about this mysterious matter.

Astronauts and Cosmonauts train and study for years to work and live aboard the International Space Station. With this wealth of experience and insight behind them what do they think when they return to Earth?

Our atmosphere is an unbelievably complex machine that protects us from the vacuum of space, shelters us from harmful radiation and allows us and the biosphere to breath; we need to learn much more about it so we can better it.

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 ringed planet is of immense interest to researchers who believe that Saturn's ring system will share similarities with the proto-planetary disc.

Currently the only destination for Astronauts and Cosmonauts is the orbiting research platform known as the International Space Station.

The solar system's largest planet has been visited by automated probes since the 1970s.

The Sun is our star. Its energy enables life on the Earth to thrive yet we know so little about the solar weather and the 11 year solar cycle.

Space telescopes orbiting above the distorting effects of the Earth's atmosphere, such as the Hubble, have made incredible contributions to our knowledge of the universe.

There are so many unanswered questions about the stars, the galaxies and the universe and just mapping what lies in the night sky is immensely difficult.

As our expertise in space technology increases there have been spin-offs in many areas: particularly in communications.

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.

Over time, the Atlantic Ocean widened. Then Africa moved north, struck Europe and birthed the Alps. Erosion, volcanic activity, and ice ages fashioned an extraordinarily rich and varied continent, ready for the arrival of human beings.

Africa is Mother Earth. Gondwana, the first, single, landmass broke apart into today's continents, but its heart is Africa. Land of rifts, lakes and volcanoes, Africa's mineral deposits testify to its eons-old history.

Volcanic activity and climate change define Africa's modern geological history. Recently meaning 50 million years ago the Arabian plate snapped off the African continent and joined Southeast Asia.

North America's physical features were formed by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and an ice age. To understand the geological forces at play, we look at the Rockies, the Grand Canyon and Canadian Shield. Also - will part of California become an island?

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.

Stephen Hawking, though suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has developed a unique understanding of the universe.

Tornados are one of the most destructive forces of the planets with winds at 300 miles an hour. They can destroy buildings and hurl cars hundreds of feet through the air.

The Rockies. Magnificent and awe-inspiring mysterious, the Rockies are one of the longest mountain ranges in the world. Naked Science investigates the geological processes that build these massive mountains.

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.
