What's your favourite celestial story? 🪐
definitely how saturn got its rings!
The primordial dance of Saturn and Jupiter, and how it paved the way for Earth to become what it is today. To think Jupiter might have swallowed everything whole, but a dance with another gas giant changes its future into shielding us from comets. It's romantic!
How saturn got it's rings.
Uranus tillted
The baby cheeseus
The BBC do the best documentaries.
🤔 Yes, but they also have a dishonest & disingenuous side
So Saturn was our saviour by reigning in Jupiter and Jupiter ends up as our protector by hoovering up all the dangerous garbage rock, nice to have big brothers.
Lol I never would have thought about it that way 😆🤯 It’s so true!
Jupiter is the Son. Saturn, the Father.
I always thought of Saturn has the big brother and Saturn the big sister. They're pretty cool!
but one day Jupiter will be the one who will send our demise (asteroid same size or bigger as that wiped the dinosaur ) yikes
@@audreyooro7040 you said saturn twice
Before watching it, I thought this was a regular space documentary about eight planets in our solar system. But you guys proved me wrong. This is one of the best space documentaries that I've seen. It's amazing that it's free.
Just showing eight would’ve sold itself short.
It ain’t free. If you consider selling your privacy as free then yes it is
Yes guys ur right😊
For anyone who r going to watch this, I suggest u watch this with headphones or surround sound systems. The Sound effects and music are the masterpieces by themselves! Goosebump guaranteed! 🤯
Yes, I'd also love to know what music they used
This is one of the most epic space documentaries I've ever seen the animations, musical score, and storytelling all combine to make it truly special. Absolutely breathtaking.
Documentaries?? Then mermaid is a documentary too! 😅
BBC are simply good at their craft.
This is a 'supercut' of the original BBC productions that were originally narrated by scientist Brian Cox. Unfortunately (in my opinion), American audiences seem to want things with lots of talking heads, preferably with American-accented narration. Sigh.
It's a story, not a documentary.
Yeah you said it "animations" and "storytelling" There is no outer space we live under a dome in fishbowl surrounded by an ice wall and there is countless other fishbowls outside of the dome..
I don't know why but this whole documentary the way it describes the planets is as if they were gods above our celestial planes, fighting amongst one another, casting asteroids, shaping our environment and saving us from destruction... Non the less great documentary!
Because it makes for a very engaging documentary that way?
Shout out to the camera crew that went ahead of all the satellites to catch footage of them passing by each planet. I appreciate you.❤
These comments stopped being funny 4 years ago
@@piercemccauley7079 please support your statement with scientific references.
Ha. And an additional ha
🤣
@@piercemccauley7079 na, still funny.
I love how mysterious space is, I wish I could be around 1,000 years from now to see how far we've progressed
If we’ve progressed, we had 1,000 years of dark ages after the fall of ancient civilizations.
@@Ivan.A.TrulyuskiI fear we are headed back to that
My favourite part of this doco is at 49:04. Her enthusiasm for describing Saturn’s rings is captivating.
i came here to comment about this!
samex2, was about to comment this 😊
She did a wonderful job of using words to describe what she saw in her mind, which is usually a trait/ability of good writers/authors, it's rare (but quite welcome) to see in a scientist.
Her initial description, and then saying "I've said it over and over.....they should put that in a movie", and I'm thinking "LOL, CONGRATS to you, because haven't they! That sounds very similar to some dialogue in a late '90s blockbuster film to me!!"
What about the one who described Uranus ?
The animation and presentation of this is absolutely incredible. Kudos
Yeah stolen from NASA's missions and observations.
@Alucard Balmond Ummmm these are artist renditions. Nasa hardware cannot get 8000 km deep into Saturn's atmosphere. Nice try tho.
@@GC0077 so BBC send satelite into Saturn to study it? No, BRITISHBC stole American findings without credits. Nice try. €1.1k a month poor brit.
@Alucard Balmond Nasa is partnered with the ESA. Therefore, it shares its findings with foreign countries, namely allies. By the way, this was not a BBC production alone, it was partnered with PBS, so again, the information was shared. Nobody stole anything... you're wrong, deal with it.
@@GC0077 Now much does an NHS senior surgeon makes? €41k a year. Ahaha toilet papers. Poor Brits with excuses. what's ESA? Never heard of that. So a combination of over 30 self proclaimed developed countries with their citizens unable to afford small hatchbacks 🤣 needed to steal from NASA? I feel so sorry. I'll donate €1 to Britain. I mean at least their cops need a modern means of transportation. Who even uses horses in 2023? Imagine showing up for work on horseback. Like man, 1654 ... 😔😔
This is so calming watching in bed late at night.. I just passed my CDCII exam in addictions counseling tonight! Blessings from NP, Alaska🫶

Each planet in our solar system is a wonder of its own, showcasing the incredible diversity and beauty of the cosmos. From the majestic rings of Saturn to the fiery storms on Jupiter, the wonders of our solar system never cease to amaze.
It never even crcrossed my mind that the sun is traveling around the Milky Way, and the planets are orbiting around the sun at the same time! I just always assumed the sun was stationary, I don't even remember if they taught this in school?
@@billblaski9523 I too thought that at first, I think it was because they taught us the sun was the center of our solar system and i assumed that was the center of everything.
To read the Holy Bible's description of Earth and the Heavens read Genesis 1:1-18 and the Book of Enoch, you'll think that you died and went to Heaven!!
@@Sonya1967 Yes read from the Bible as far as knowing the contents but it can't be taken seriously, there are too many claims that were accepted by the unknown authors but are impossible by today's understandings. The order of creation could not work. The flood was not possible or a 600 year old man and two of every animal on an ark. I believe it should be a personal believe and kept to oneself.
Bot comment
Oh my god!!! A new episode, a full episode, Zachary Quinto narrating and the best visuals I've seen in such a documentary. I am happy, I want to find more of these but have had no luck so far.
:( I miss Brian.
@@codayop you mean Dr Cox? He's my favorite too.
I can’t bare Dr. Cocks! He’s so arrogant.
@@ARlELATOM it's spelled "bear", not bare, and it doesn't surprise me that someone who cannot differentiate something like that would also not like Dr Cox.
I’ve been looking for full episodes too but all I can find are 10 minute clips. Made a playlist and watch it quite a bit. 😊
When a media giant like the BBC is involved in covering wonderful topics like astronomy, then imagination is brought to life. The sound effects and the narrative are quite on point. I love good work and this is one of such. Keep it up.
Thanks dawg!
@@billblaski9523 waddup ma homie
3:19 I really struggled to get through this section. I’m only 29. I think about my own mortality WAY more than probably most of my peers. I know I won’t be around to see the end of it all… but it makes me simultaneously greatly appreciative and grateful, yet exceedingly depressed. Look at what we’ve done to our planet. And the way humans treat each other. And the way we treat “lesser” species. It makes me wonder what the point of it all is. It makes me sad. And scared.
welcome to nature
there isnt a point to all of it i dont think. You have to add your own purpose to life but inherently there is no purpose
It can take a lifetime to come to terms with it all & to be at peace with the inevitable
Scared of not existing? I think it's natural. Only thing that soothes the thought of it, for me, is appreciating the time I have with my immediate family. Finding ways to make them happy, makes me happy
38:57 made me feel like crying out of gratitude towards mother Earth
Huge shoutout to the camera man who decided to travel into the core of Jupiter and film the metallic hydrogen…
You the real MVP….
How did he do it? Seems dangerous, but I'm not a scientist.
@@definitelynotanAIchatbotyou actually Think someone went Into jupiter to record?
Why do we have to have this comment on every space video
@@BestBecky78 to celebrate the cameraman obviously
Welp, I guess this little cornball comment is here to stay
I saw this special on PBS a few years ago and it literally changed how I look at our solar system. I had never been so interested in it before until I watched it. The Planets really did change my outlook and- I am so eager to learn more about our system now! After watching it, I tried to watch other shows on other channels about our solar system AND THEY DID NOT COMPARE. The music, interviews, graphics and narration on this specific series IS TOP NOTCH. Thank you PBS/BBC for showing it!
The channels melodysheep and astrum make great videos too!
I also had a hard time finding videos like this about the same subject matter that matched the quality of this. Kosmo is the channel I found that is full of excellent videos. I highly recommend looking into it if you enjoyed this one.
I was wondering why a BBC documentary would feature so few British people in it.
Other episodes don't compare because this "documentary" is a fairy tale. They GUESS that this is how the universe is; they don't really know. Yet they present all of this as facts. It's sickening. They're more sure about space than Christians are about God. That should tell you everything you need to know.
@@trentp151 Scientists don't believe in scientific certainty. None of them do. In fact, I've heard several theoretical physicists say they hope their current theories are wrong, because that would mean something more amazing would be true, and it would mean more work for theoretical physicists. That sort of thing excites them!
Scientists often suffer from communication problems. Christians actually believe the things they say (usually), but scientists describe theories that contain inherent uncertainty, only they tend to forget to say things like, "According to this theory," or "This is what we think is happening." They know when they are talking to other scientists, that much can be assumed, as it is with most of the public, but some people don't assume that. Some people think science is unassailable, and that's just dead wrong. You know that, and so do I, but some people don't, and scientists speaking to the public always need to be wary of that.
I'm a retired scientist, but not in this field. I'm fully aware of how science works and the strengths and weaknesses it has as a system, but it is the only knowledge system that can be reliably shared and built on - until a problem is discovered, at which point we adjust our theories and hypotheses to fit the evidence. In that way, although science does not yield certainty, it is self-correcting.
We need more documentaries like this one. Spectacular!
This is not a "documentary"...it's a story.
@@vade137 A documentary film or documentary is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education or maintaining a historical record."
This is most definitely not a story
@@lukasm.1894 Okay, then it''s a mockumentary. The computer generated images are real in that a person sat down and created the images...but, they have no idea if that is an accurate depiction of 'space'.
@@vade137what difference does it make?? Just enjoy the video. Whether or not it's the artist depiction doesn't change the fact that it's scary, informative and beautiful at the same time
This was definitely the best presentation I've ever seen about the planets. Great visuals, amazing cinematic effects, kept my attention the full video. I enjoyed this very much. And it was very informative. Great job!
literally all of this is fake bro
@@chainlink2348 and of all the comments saying the same thing, you picked mine bro. But to each their own 🤷♀️
@@chainlink2348you can't be serious 😂 ignorance is bliss
As a lover of nature I'm deeply overwhelmed by this celestial story
A full episode? Finally
I appreciate your detailed explanations of our solar system and I feel proud to say that we have great people on earth who would go all in to make us know more of our solar system. I am proud of you all
They are liars
@@andrewwian4921😂
Beautiful documentary, the images the explanations. Is great. Thanks for this quality.
Mad respect to the filming crew who had to travel all over the timelines and solar system to create this masterpiece! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tired, overused, etc
Stop please
Saturn and Jupiter acting like the big brothers of the family, protecting their small sisters. 😎
I feel so enlightened. I can’t thank you guys enough for this documentary. I’ve just told my younger brother to watch. I’ll keep passing this link down to enlighten more. 🙂
New found appreciation for Saturn. Bless saturn for stopping Jupiter from absolutely wrecking our chances of sitting here and watching this video.
Press F to pay respects to Pluto that used to be the 9th Planet 😩
Pluto is the short king of planets
Press F for Ceres which is the same size and lies between Mars and Jupiter, but never got to be called a planet in the first place 😭
And double F for Ganymede which is even bigger than Mercury, but was caught by Jupiter’s gravity and was therefor turned into a moon
o7
Pluto is STILL a planet, just like the others.
@@juntus89 Pluto’s “moon” Charon is so big compared to Pluto that it doesn’t rotate around Pluto - Pluto and Charon rotate around each other / spin around each other around a joint empty place in space. Also, there’s other debris in the orbit that hadn’t been cleared away by Pluto’s gravity. That means it can’t be considered a planet, according to today’s naming standards.
But yeah, personally I’m all for calling Pluto and Charon a two-planet-system and calling Ceres and Eris and Haumea and Makemake planets, because they’re all really cool and I don’t mind our solar system having like 32 planets 😅 I get why astronomers think it’s bulky though and wanted a more specific naming system for planetary bodies.
I don't mind the narrator's voice (is it Zachary Quinto?), even if it's not Sir David Attenborough.
It's Bobcat Goldwaith.
Totally sounds like Zachary Quinto. Thought the same thing.
Such a soothing voice, I want more. 😌
It's 100% Zachary Quinto. Such a lovely voice.
I had to look it up. Gotta say I'm pretty into it
Amazing watch, as usual, really give you a different perspective on space.
I love this. The visuals along with the story!!
I must've watched this a dozen times by now. Love it. Thank you
Finally a documentary in which people interviewed look directly at the camera. Hopefully it becomes the new norm.
😅 Do they not do that in other documentaries? That is such a weird thing to notice.
@@allanfreeman9977 No, they don't. They're usually looking at someone outside the frame.
Why does it matter?
@@liamwoodman4950 If that doesn't matter to you, it's alright and I have nothing against it. For me, it just looks artificial and disingenuous, like someone who won't look at you when you're talking to them.
@@D0nlyJuan But thats literally what they're doing when they're not looking at the camera, they're looking at the person asking them the question, if anything its more disingenuous to look at a camera to an audience that didn't ask you anything. Either is fine and neither is better than the other.
Excellent as always. A blessing listening to you
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DOCUMENTARY I'VE SEEN!!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE AND WILL BE DEDICATED TO WATCHING MORE!!!!
Thank you Earth Lab so much for spectacular documentary, you are the real MVPs!
Absolutely fascinating! ❤
Sylar's sultry voice is just so perfect!
This was excellent, thank you for the upload!
A script full of tension, suspense, tragedy and plot twists. The history of the Solar System is beyond AMAZING. And this is just a part of what we know or think we know that happened in our neighborhood, which a miniscule part of the Universe. Imagine all the things that have happened, are happening and will happen throughout the Universe every second of its existence. Just WOW.
Nothing else is happening, it's all fake.
Exactly, WOW! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around us being able to just now see light from stars so far away that they no longer exist "right now". 🤔🤯🤯🤯
@JustLucky825 Light is literally as fast as it gets, and yet it is so incredibly slow on the large scale. It's kinda sad, because it puts a hard limit on our ability to explore the galaxy. We can just forget about ever traveling outside the Milky Way. 😔
The drama the music has created to this solar system story.. absolutely stunning.
@49:19 i love how she described how it looked on paper, then gave me a visual and how excited she was. beautiful. one of then greatest space documentaries. wtg, bbc earth lab!
This is not Joanne it's her son
I have just watched this, and it's another very, very good documentary about the planets. I lv watching these sort of videos me..
These planet programmes with the hole programme with it showing in depth the planets are the best. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
No one cares who it is
@@rowan6207 idk I think it’s kinda cute lol
When it all comes crashing down, I’ll be glad I had an inkling of it by watching and learning stuff like this.
What a brilliant documentary, great visual and story telling. I was hooked till the end
Thank you very much, the team behind this great documentary about our mysterious universe
The score for this documentary alone is stunning. Absolutely beautiful.
more of this !
What an amazing doccie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done
Absolutely amazing documentary . thank you .
for people who enjoyed this, I strongly recommend watching the whole series (The Planets is a 2019 BBC/PBS television documentary series about the Solar System presented by Professor Brian Cox in the UK version and Zachary Quinto in the US version.) I prefer the original (Brian Cox) version. This is just a hastily put together summary of one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
OH!!! I was wondering why it is a bit disjointed and seems to have some information missing. Thanks for the tip to check out the original series!
So glad I've scrolled far enough to see this comment, thank you for recommendation!
I love this. The visuals along with the story telling it really taking me on a journey.

@@jerryandrews9890 trampus
Finally...someone who gets this is a fun and beautiful story...but not a documentary or educational...it's a beautiful and fantastical story.
Thanks, dawg!
funny, my comment was deleted because I called this out as being a drama and having absolutely nothing to do with reality. YT algorithm wants you to believe computer generated images are real life!
Great to see Carolyn Porco, Andy Ingersoll and Dave Grinspoon on here, I remember watching them in the original Planets series on the BBC in 1999!
This is why I pay my tv licence. This was the best piece of art I have seen in years. Bravo 👏
I did not know there was sound in space. Learn something new every day. Thanks, BBC! That aside, and yes, I was being sarcastic about sound, I like this documentary.
I’m beginning to realize that exoplanets are not candidates for a new home. They may be in the Goldilocks Zone, but our planet has something rare and each planet in our Solar System serves a purpose to protect and help Earth’s sustainability. This is a truly remarkable documentary. Quinto can tell me stories all day but I think I’d fall asleep.
Yes, being a rocky planet in the goldilocks zone is not enough. Many other factors, including timing, are extremely important!
yes! you need oxygen, a magnetic field perhaps a tilted orbit, a moon or two to prevent flooding,a calm core [most likely nickle to create a magnetic field], a stable atmosphere, complete random chance, mitochondria formation,a dwarf star to prevent the star from dying mid way through evolution, a stable orbit, other planets need a stable orbit, a far out asteroid belt and most likely much much MUCH more!
@@herorisk Theoretically, you could use a "hot rock"--a celestial body that isn't a star but is hot--to provide energy. It wouldn't give light but warmth. Since geothermal vents have proven that life can occur without light.
oh 100% im positive if earth became rouge life would still survive, even thrive below the mass ice sheets of the ocean, warmed by the core@@Badficwriter
An Absolutely Fantastic documentary not only for us adults but also the little ones (primary school) & also high school pupils. without doubt this download is getting saved & Full marks 🌟 👏🌟👏🌟👏🌟 Thanks👌for the download👍
Every time I watch a documentary like this, I marvel on how much had to go right and what were the mathematical odds that life on earth what would be possible
Pleasantly surprised at the lack of “can we take a moment to appreciate the cameraman” comments 😬
"Infinite sheet of gleaming debris" is quite the poetry.
Thank you for making this free for all of us.
This is just mind-boggling beautiful.

The original version with Brian Cox is FAR better i don't know why Americans decided to cut up the original. Seriously do yourselves a favour and watch the normal version with Brian Cox instead.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes I wonder if there’s life outside of planet earth?
There must be. There gotta be. We shouldn’t be alone in all the vastness of the Universe.
It's odd watching the PBS version of this series on a BBC channel.
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading such wonderful content that is interesting, educational, and beautifully made.
Great stuff BBC Earth Lab.

Yay!!! New episode of our mighty solar system. I have my hot beet tea and now watching. Have a great night and blessed night everyone. Love lots!❤❤❤
I’m watching URanus with a telescope now.
Beet tea? How did you get the idea to make tea of beet roots?
Dealing with space on my own channel for so many years, I've kinda taken for granted the sheer size of some of these planets.
These cinematics gave me pause and helped rekindle the awe.
Thanks, it was an incredible video and investigationg of the wonderful Solar Systems... Great and we will continue amazing with the things will be found in the universe in the future...
I just LOVE this kind of documentaries!!! It's what I live for on CZcams.
The animations are beautiful, probably as realistic as it gets. Fantastic work BBC.
Press F for Ganymede, which is even bigger than Mercury but was caught by Jupiter’s gravity and instead of being a planet of its own was turned into a moon almost no one has heard of 😭
Press F for the dumbest comment ever. Anyone who would watch this would have absolutely heard of Ganymede, one of the largest Jovian moons. What was the point of your silly comment?
@@ScottysHaze what’s your deal? 😂 All people know the planets of the solar system, but the regular person who isn’t into astronomy like we are haven’t even heard the name Ganymede, and it’s a real shame, so why are you acting so mad? Did you somehow take my initial innocuous comment as a personal attack despite me not in any way addressing you? Dial it back a bit and calm down before you spew acid in the comment section 🤷
Fun fact: just like other stars, the Sun has a name: Sol.
Believe it or not, the Moon has a name too: Luna
Those words are just Latin for sun and moon. Your comment is the biggest facepalm ever. 🤦🏻♂️
Earth also has a name: Terra.
You guys are speaking Latin.
Sol=the sun
Luna=the moon
Terra=Earth
Since we call it the sun isn't that its name?

I’ve honestly watched this more than four times now, what a beautiful documentary👏. Rewatching it again.😂
thank you for making this free
Love this series.
BBC does make excellent documentary, I can’t say the same for the news.
Wow, a full show, not a 2 minute trailer for the actual video - keep those changes coming!
(23:04 An impressive 100,5% content!)
You beat me to it. The planet that is more than 100%. That is impressive!
Great documentary! However was disappointed that there was no segment on Venus, my favorite planet! How did it get so hot, why does it rotate differently, what does the surface look like, etc. And yes, I understand this is about planets, but what about Titan, Enceladeus, and Europa? Moons, but small planets in their own right.
Venus is exceptionally hot because it's thick atmosphere has trapped the greenhouse gases that have escaped from inside the planet, creating a runaway temperature increase.
Venus spins in retrograde most likely due to an impact with a similarly-sized object fairly early on during the planet formation period of our solar system. This impact could have caused the planet to slow it's rotation to the point of stillness, and could even have been strong enough to reverse the course of the planet's direction of motion. Another possibility is that Venus actually still rotates in the same direction as the other planets, but that an impact knocked it over 180°, thus making it appear to be rotating in reverse.
Man, this has some great visuals. Good stuff
Love this documentary and the music in the intro is fantastic.
at 59:46 zach says "nuclear winter" when there's a term for this phenomenon, it's called an impact winter
I suspect the name will change again as its pointed out that "winter" is meaningless on planets like Jupiter.
I believe even kids will have ideas from this masterpiece
I love videos that make you feel like you’re really there ❤😭
super awesome docu.... really mesmerized me.
Very very informative.
I love the history of our solar system!! Some people find it boring but not me !!
