In The Go Jetters Chase the Northern Lights,the Go Jetters crew heads to Finland to witness the stunning Northern Lights! These bright, colorful lights swirl and dance across the night sky, creating a magical light show. The Northern Lights happen when beams from the Sun meet gases in the sky, but they only appear on clear nights in the far north. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Hatzegopteryx, Monster of the Skies, naturalist Steve Backshall investigates the largest creature to ever take flight! Plus, see how this dinosaur compares with a real flying object in the skies today. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In Bats, Masters of the Sky, narrator Suranne Jones explains that bats live in caves where they are safe from predators, like hawks. But when they have to leave the cave, they use strategies like flying all at once and their nimble flying skills to overwhelm and evade predators. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Life in the Air, a documentary about animals that take to the sky.
In A Deep Dive Into Titan’s Mysterious Skies, Professor Brian Cox explains how Saturn’s moon Titan is unique in that it has an Earth-like atmosphere. Its deep, dense atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and contains methane. Though Titan is small, and therefore has weak gravitational pull, it is able to hold onto its atmosphere because the gases are very cold. 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 Frontsiding to Help Others, host Radzi Chinyanganya introduces Sky Brown, a young skateboarder from California who is using her passion for skateboarding to make a difference in the lives of children, including Sokly, a girl in Cambodia. The video highlights how organizations like Skateistan, a non-governmental organization (NGO), use sports and education to improve the quality of life for children in underserved communities. Through Sky’s efforts, students see how hobbies can be a powerful tool for helping others and creating positive change. This video is excerpted from BBC’s My World, a program created for teenagers eager to learn more about the important stories shaping our world.
