Galaxy: Technology, Discoveries, Achievements
S01:E06 - Orbit
S01:E01 - Bodies of Rock and Ice
Comets and Asteroids are the rubble left over from the formation of the Solar System. Their huge, highly elliptical orbits can easily be perturbed.
S01:E02 - Perseverance
Since the earliest days of planetary exploration our neighbouring planet Mars has had scientists wondering if it may once have fostered life.
S01:E03 - Space Transport
After the Space Shuttle program ends, American astronauts rely on Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft to reach the International Space Station.
S01:E04 - Artemis Visit to the Moon
The Apollo program helped America win the Space Race, but no human has returned to the Moon since the final landing in 1972.
S01:E05 - JWST
The James Webb Space Telescope is the most sophisticated observatory that humanity has built.
S01:E06 - Orbit
Precision engineering and complex navigation guide rockets as they place satellites into exact positions high above Earth.
S01:E07 - Black Holes
Once regarded as only a theoretical consequence of General Relativity, Black Holes or Singularities are thought to be at the heart of every galaxy.
