Billions of years ago, Venus may have harbored life-giving habitats similar to those on the early Earth. Today, Earth's twin is a planet knocked upside down and turned inside out. Its burned-out surface is a global fossil of volcanic destruction, shrouded in a dense, toxic atmosphere. Scientists are now unveiling daring new strategies to search for clues from a time when the planet was alive.

Birth of Planet Earth tells the twisted tale of our planet’s origins. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

Some believe Mars is the next home for Humanity. But the real "red planet" is a trickster; strikingly beautiful, yet sweetly sinister. Even as a growing armada of instruments arrive, this small cold world conceals its secrets. This film merges the mythic and the scientific to show that Mars may not be what we imagine. Settlers beware: the Red Planet may change us as much as we change it.

¿Qué puede decirnos el planeta gigante Júpiter sobre el nacimiento de nuestro sistema solar hace cinco mil millones de años? Basándose en los nuevos hallazgos de la misión Juno de la NASA, los científicos están escudriñando el tormentoso corazón de Júpiter para revelar los orígenes mismos de nuestro sistema solar: una época temprana caótica en la que planetas más pequeños fueron arrojados al espacio o enviados a colisiones devastadoras, y el destino del planeta Tierra quedó en suspenso.

“Faster Than Light” explores the longstanding quest to develop spacecraft with enough power and speed to reach the stars. The film asks: What will it take to reach a newly discovered planet circling our Sun’s nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri? Based on real science and engineering, “Faster Than Light” takes audiences on a thrilling journey into the future, aboard laser-driven space sails, antimatter engines, and even warp drive – right out of science fiction. “Who can say how far, and how fast, our technology will one day take us?” said director Thomas Lucas.

The search for planets beyond our solar system has brought an historic discovery: a planet slightly larger than Earth orbiting a star called Proxima Centauri. At just over 40 trillion kilometers from the Sun, Proxima Centauri is our closest stellar neighbor. Does its planet have a climate, or even life?

A fleet of high-tech telescopes, led by the NASA and ESA Hubble Space Telescope, has delivered an unprecedented chain of discoveries about how galaxies like the Milky Way took shape, how stars live and die, the influence of black holes, and the birth of the planets and the solar system. In this new age of astronomy, scientists are testing topics from the origin of life to Einstein's theories.
Director
Since its launch 25 Years ago, the Hubble Telescope has returned images of unprecedented beauty of a dynamic and changing universe. By looking closely at these images, Hubble's Enduring Legacy reveals the findings of astronomers over its remarkable 25 Year history.

Viaja al borde del espacio y más allá para descubrir los últimos agujeros negros de la naturaleza. Explore dónde se encuentran, cómo comienzan y cómo es posible aprovechar y usar el poder que producen. En Monster Black Holes, los científicos reconstruyen constantemente la compleja dinámica del nacimiento de los agujeros negros y también examinan el crecimiento de unos pocos agujeros negros selectos en proporciones súper masivas que dominan los centros de las galaxias. Como un agujero negro de monstruo se traga todo lo que encuentra en su camino, genera energía que da forma al universo a su alrededor de manera poderosa. Viaja al corazón de un agujero negro y explora qué sucede con la materia cuando cae en un agujero negro, y si algún día la galaxia de la Vía Láctea llegará a su fin cuando explote el agujero negro en el centro de galaxias.
