Venturing past Neil
Armstrong’s footsteps still sealed on the moon, the special soars over
brightly illuminated Venus onto Mercury, a small planet made almost
entirely of iron that may perhaps be the left-over remnants of a much
larger planet.
Mars is a planet of extremes:
with tornadoes, volcanoes and canyons unlike anything seen on Earth
while Jupiter’s ever-present red storm is three times the size of Earth
and has lasted for hundreds of years.
Reaching the Saturn moon Titan, you'll find a landscape closely
resembling Earth, but Titan’s rivers, lakes and oceans are not made of
water, but of liquid methane. Could life exist here?
Travelling
more than 90 trillion kilometres from Earth, viewers step inside the
Epsilon Eridani star system where spectacular rings of dust and ice
resemble the formation of our own solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
Even
further out is star Gliese 581, about the same age as our sun with a
planet that is just the right distance to possibly support life.
Passing
by the Pillars of Creation, viewers can see deep inside these clouds
where huge stars being born, bringing light and perhaps even life to the
universe.
