Solar System

Discover the mysterious events unfolding every day across the planets and moons of our Solar System. From the makers of The Planets and Universe. Today, right now, countless spectacular events are taking place in the skies above us: mountains of ice float on far away worlds, enormous dust devils whip across a red desert planet, and alien rainstorms feed the rapids of a 250-mile-long river of methane. What’s driving these spectacles has long remained a mystery, but thanks to more spacecraft visiting the planets and moons than ever before, we’re beginning to find the answers. Take five epic journeys across our solar system, witness the most incredible phenomena, and discover how each and every one is expanding the outer limits of our understanding.
