In Exploring the Frozen Surface of Titan, Professor Brian Cox describes how in 2004, the Huygens probe landed on Saturn’s moon Titan and revealed a surprisingly Earth-like surface. The probe observed flat, sandy ground with smooth, rounded stones — evidence that there was once flowing water on Titan's surface. This discovery has provided crucial insights into Titan’s geological history. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wonders of the Solar System, a spellbinding documentary series that explores the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the Solar System.
In Exploring the Cave of Swallows, narrator Sir David Attenborough dives deep into the Cave of Swallows in Mexico, the largest cave shaft in the world. Despite its massive size, it was only fully explored two years before humans landed on the Moon. Caves remain some of the least explored places on Earth. However, humans are rarely the first to arrive in these dark, damp environments — many strange and fascinating creatures have already made them their home. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In The Go Jetters Witness a Solar Eclipse!, the Go Jetters crew watches a solar eclipse. Ubercorn explains what’s happening during an eclipse and why we should protect our eyes while watching one.
