Life in Outer Space

S1, EP2 "The Exoplanets"

Scientists examine necessary qualities for life that may exist on exoplanets, which are planets outside the solar system.

Searching for Planet 9

At the edge of the solar system, a mysterious giant planet is said to be hidden, with a mass equivalent to five times the Earth. Several teams of astronomers relentlessly try to track this hypothetical exile.

Planet Hunters

Astrophysicists at the forefront of the search consider the possibility of finding a planet like Earth among any of the bodies discovered by a new space-based telescope.

Destruction Decoded

S1, EP1 "Mega Floods; Tsunamis"

When water unleashes its rage upon the planet, it becomes the ultimate bringer of death; whether it's from rain washing over the ground, rivers bursting their banks, or failed efforts to stem the flow, flooding is as inevitable as it is unstoppable.

Destruction Decoded

S1, EP2 "Construction Disasters"

Dams control water supply and generate power, but cities can be submerged in minutes if something goes wrong; bridges and tunnels make hard-to-reach places easily accessible, but when they unexpectedly fail, the results can be disastrous.

Destruction Decoded

S1, EP3 "Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones"

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all the same thing with different names, but what they also have in common is their destructive power.

Destruction Decoded

S1, EP4 "Earthquakes"

Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates suddenly shift and shock waves shake the Earth's surface; they occur along fault lines -- the most active being the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas Fault on the American West Coast.

Cosmic Journeys

S1, EP13 "Venus: Death of a Planet"

Exploring Venus' history and how it diverged from Earth in its formative years to become a hot, acidic, lifeless world.
