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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

By 2050 mankind will be living on the moon, and perhaps even Mars

Flying cars are coming, but when?

What would happen if many of the products we use every day were made in our homes and not factories?

Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth’s surface, yet are less explored than the Moon.

Virtual reality, simulated environments, realistic video game worlds, and AI are all coming by 2050.

More people are moving to cities than ever before. And that’s changing the ways of millions of people.

Chuck Pell goes to New York’s fashion district to try the latest…in electric clothes.

In the future farms are moving from the countryside into the city, and they’re going straight up.

A hot tip sends the guys to southern Arizona in order to investigate a possible cold find.

In Brenham, Kansas pieces of a large meteorite that fell thousands of years ago have been unearthed. Using advanced metal detection equipment Arnold and Notkin work tirelessly to find the meteorite pieces that have yet to be discovered.

In the 1850s a farmer came across a meteorite in Arizona; it's known as the "Tucson Ring" and now resides at the Smithsonian. Arnold and Notkin search for more pieces in an attempt to solve one of the biggest mysteries in the world of meteorite hunters.

Approximately 50,000 years ago a giant meteor created one of only two craters in the U.S. that have produced meteorite specimens. In this episode, Steve and Geoff will be hunting on the land surrounding the crater with their new cutting-edge detectors.

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 earth is 4.5 billion years old and it is slowly dying. Tectonic activity is slowly cooling the planet – the continents will eventually move together to form a new supercontinent called Pangea Ultima.

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.
