Summer of Space

Wednesdays beginning July 24, 9:00 and 10:00 pm

In this five-part series, NOVA explores the awesome beauty of the planets, including Saturn’s 175,000-mile-wide rings, Mars’ ancient waterfalls four times the size of any found on Earth, and Neptune’s winds—12 times stronger than any hurricane
felt on our planet. Using unique special effects and extraordinary footage captured by orbiters, landers, and rovers, audiences get an up-close look at the dark side of Pluto, lit only by the reflected light of its moons; a sunset over an ancient
Martian waterfall; and a storm twice the size of Earth from high above Saturn; learning how each of them has affected our own planet: Earth.
