Episode description:
1. Black Holes
There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space come to an end. It’s inside this fantastic riddle that black holes exert their sway over the cosmos and our imaginations. Experience the creation of the Milky Way Galaxy, zip through other-worldly wormholes, and witness the violent death of a star and the birth of a black hole. Mathematical equations, cutting-edge science, and Einstein’s theories provide the most complete picture yet on this mysterious phenomenon.
2. Dynamic Earth
The inner workings of Earth’s climate system come alive in visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations. This cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun down into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans, and the biosphere. Ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, and fly into roiling volcanoes.
3. Super Volcanoes
A rare class of volcanic eruptions marshals the energy lurking beneath the surface of planet Earth. Seventy thousand years ago on the island of Sumatra, the Earth’s crust literally collapsed, initiating one of the largest single eruptions known. Discover the mother of all eruptions, 250 million years ago, when the infamous Siberian Traps set in motion the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history. Move beyond Earth to explore the impact of giant volcanic eruptions around our solar system, on Neptune's frigid moon Triton, and the ultimate volcanic realm: Jupiter’s moon Io.
4. Dawn of the Space Age
Dramatic animations recreate the perils and stunning achievements of the early days of space exploration, from the launch of the first artificial satellite sputnik, to the magnificent lunar landings. Come along with the astronauts that took part in these death-defying experiments in manned space flight, and witness their drive, passion, and bravery. Experience a new age of space exploration now emerging in an array of private ventures.
