The latest deep space observations provide evidence to prove some of Albert Einstein's theories.
Where Are All the Aliens?
S4 E10
Examining the possibility of life on other planets.
The Cryosphere
S4 E21
New satellites are being launched to continue observations of Earth and its oceans and ice caps.
Astronauts adapt to the challenges of space living-- the unique environment, tasteless food and canned air's scent; exploring how coping mechanisms are crucial for life and work in space.
Climate change and pollution have dire consequences for the atmosphere of the planet; exploring the latest technology and science looking into the health of the atmosphere.
Exploring the latest updates on the new space hardware that can potentially launch mankind into the next generation of space flight; some rockets and capsules are on time while others are not so fortunate.
Exploring EXO Mars and Curiosity as they continue their scientific discoveries, as humanity prepares for new missions, both robotic and manned, to Mars.
With continuous observation of Earth, scientists have built a data set that reveals much about how the planet breathes and how life sustains itself on it; exploring the data about the changing systems of the planet.
Cosmic Collisions
S3 E8
Exploring how numerous collisions occur even in the vastness of space.
Gravity
S3 E9
The LISA pathfinder has led the way for a space-based gravity wave detector; discussing gravity waves and why they are so hard to detect.
One hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface lies an invisible frontier: the edge of space; this is the Karman Line the boundary between our planet's atmosphere and what lies beyond.
Artificial satellites contribute to life on Earth through their use in communications, weather observation, global positioning and resource management.
The sky above is studded with stars and countless galaxies; in them, humans can read not only their origin, but also their final destination; technology is on the brink of taking the human race to places it has only dreamed of.
Scientists and engineers manage to land a spacecraft on a comet; knowledge of these celestial marauders may drive industrial expansion into deep space.
