Summary
Among the stars in the night sky wander the worlds of our own solar system--each home to truly awe-inspiring sights: a volcano three times as tall as Everest, geysers erupting with icy plumes, a cyclone larger than Earth that's been churning for hundreds of years. In this five-part series, NOVA explores the awesome beauty of The Planets. With special effects and extraordinary footage captured by space probes, you'll get an up-close look at Saturn's 45,000-mile-wide rings, Mars' towering ancient waterfalls, and Neptune's supersonic winds. Along the way, NOVA reveals how each of these spectacular worlds has shaped our own planet: Earth.
Notes
