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.

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 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.

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.

Saturn is the second largest planet and has an astonishing 60 moons in its orbit. Thanks to the Cassini mission, it’s also one of the most studied and most photographed planets in our neighborhood.

With the Dawn missions exploration of the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, asteroids are a hot topic. See what these incredible missions have uncovered.

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.

Scientists and engineers have long realized that mother nature is the world’s most talented designer

By 2050, the workplace will look far different than it does now, and one reason is robots.

There will be two BILLION more people on Earth in 2050, and feeding everyone will be a challenge.

Man and machine are meeting in strange and productive ways.

By the year 2050, cops and robbers won’t look anything like it did in the past.

Some of the biggest breakthroughs as we approach 2050, are happening in medicine.

Even before 2050, man and machine are meeting in ways only dreamed of by sci-fi writers.

In 2050 we’ll be living underwater, and plans are underway to live in caves on the Moon’s surface.

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.

Hurricanes, Typhoons and Cyclones all the same thing with different names – what they also have in common is their destructive power! Hurricanes are large, swirling storms and winds from a hurricane can damage buildings or trees.

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.

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.

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.
