The planets of our solar system have experienced epic catastrophes throughout
their long history, from both outside forces and within. Come along as
HISTORY™ investigates the violent events that profoundly shaped the planets,
including Earth itself. How was Mars transformed into a barren, hostile desert?
How might a lost moon explain Saturn’s rings? And could the
sun’s purported evil twin, Nemesis, be scattering killer comets throughout
our solar system like clockwork every 26 million years? Follow the amazing
700-million-year birth of the solar system from a thin cloud of dust and gas
into the neat, stable system we now realise may be a rarity in the universe.
Dynamically illustrated by spectacular NASA footage and cutting-edge CGI, THE
UNIVERSE IN 3D tells the singular story of how our world came to be.
