Some of our neighbors are alive, as it were, while others are frozen artifacts of a long-vanished era. This program visits subjects in the solar kingdom that still show a pulse and examines the factors that have kept them active. Creating a frame of reference with a discussion of planetary...

This video looks deep into space to learn how stars are born and how, eventually, they die. Each stage is covered: the formation of proto-stars, the nuclear ignition of main sequence stars, the cooling of red giants, the compaction of white dwarfs, and the final drama: death by burnout as a black dwarf or by supernova. Special attention is given to the Sun-its effect on the Earth, its projected life span, and its various levels, from corona to core,...

Description
The Sun continuously sheds its skin, blowing a ferocious wind of charged particles in all directions, including Earth's. From time to time, storms on the Sun's surface - solar flares, coronal mass ejections - toss off added masses of energy and ions. When that turbulence slams into Earth, it produces "space weather," a natural phenomenon with sometimes spectacular consequences, from colorful auroras to satellite, power, and communications failures....

Description
Explores some of the most amazing features of our very own solar system, how the forces of nature carved out beauty and order from the chaos of space, how our home planet doesn't sit in magnificent isolation but is intimately connected with the rest of the solar system, and how these connections have created the haven we call Earth.
