Synopsis
This release collects four episodes of the award-winning TV series. Episodes include "Hub of the Panets;" "Earthspace;" "Mars, Life and Impacts;" and "The Outer Limits."

From the Back Cover
Theme: Hub of the Planets
1 - The Sun - Birth, life and death of the Sun. Interior dynamics, exterior fireworks. Sunspots, corona, solar wind - latest on our local star.
2 - Mercury - The most comprehensive portrait ever of this scorched little planet. Double sunrises, craters, cracks and - incongruously - maybe polar ice.
3 - Venus - Beneath the clouds - planetary hell. A poisonous, crushing atmosphere, searing heat, volcanoes and a runaway greenhouse effect. Why?

Theme: Earthspace
4 - Earth - Evolution of the Earth - and of life. Internal structure, continental drift, day length, seasons, oceans, climate weather and El Nino.
5 - Moon - Born of collision, the story of the moon. Its influence on Earth. Apollo landings and the recent discovery of water.
6 - Aurorae and Eclipses - Celestial shows. How the solar wind conjures and aurora. Lunar and solar eclipses explained. A recent eclipse of the sun.

Theme: Mars, Life and Impacts
7 - Mars - Cold, arid Mars, where next we'll land. Polar caps, volcanoes, the biggest canyon ever seen - Mars probably once had oceans.
8 - Lifequest - Is there life elsewhere in the Solar System? Currently, on Jupiter's moon Europa? In the future, on Saturn's moon Titan?
9 - Impact! - The threat of comets and asteroids. What would happen if the spacerock that slew the dinosaurs hit New York today.

Theme: Outer Planets
10 - Jupiter - Bigger than the other planets combined, a turbulent gas giant with 16 moons - a voyage through this mini Solar System.
11 - Saturn - The many rings and moons of this exotic gas giant. Preview of a landing on Titan, a moon like a primitive Earth.
12 - Uranus and Neptune - The outer giants. Uranus - a crazy tilt and a chaotic moon called Miranda. Neptune - tempests and a moon spurting geysers.
13 - Realm of the Comets - Comets and where they originate - the Oort Cloud and the Juper Belt. Perhaps tiny Pluto isn't a planet at all.
