This is why I love the BBC.. the 'Horizon' program used to have me gripped as a child through my teens and in to my early adult hood.. I miss it so much.

[@faisalquddus2819]

Same as me

[@willhouse]

Horizon is still in production.

[@KhaoticDeterminism]

ppl really don’t understand how the warping of space time by mass is a source of energy do they? like what jupiter does to io… the moon does to Earth too just on a much lower magnitude but hey we got plate tectonics those are kinda useful a wee bit cheers #2Spirit #indigenous #philosophy #science

[@andycordy5190]

Lovely to see these clips again, particularly New Horizons. Stunning imagery.

[@catalinacurio]

A documentary to watch again and again. Absolutely fascinating, thank you! 👏👏👏

[@anitabressanthefelinealpha7377]

Great content, thank you BBC

[@KikoNYC]

I admire scientists' passion for their research!

[@dannypitt2817]

This channel is amazing,,, i really enjoy watching these,,,

[@vertigoz]

BBC produces some of the best documentaries out there. You should be really proud of it! All the best, from Portugal

[@antoniobento7538]

An big fan of bbc horizon. Best science series ever. Also from Portugal 😊

[@aidanmargarson8910]

something to show children so they can understand the scientific method .. the phosphene on Venus .. is perfect

[@user-sq8dm9et3m]

Space and Time

[@markissboi3583]

Your an aussie 1969 grade2 and watch 2 men walk on the moon then a teen in the 70s & listen some news that nasa sent a spacecraft that.ll pass jupiter pluto venus years go by doing life things and forget then your reminded 30yrs L8tr & again 2023 apollo11 and Voyagers are the things we never forget such an achievement.in our lives

[@ifb-ung-756]

❤ bbc love from India

[@Pasha8204]

Need video 4k

[@user-ql6mp8oc5p]

At 20:38 what is the molecule hidden in the chandelier?

[@pigbenis8366]

Dr. William Bains gives me mad scientist vibes. 😂

[@idamelin]

E X C E L L E N T ! ! !

[@TonyOkeke-bt1qu]

I like dis program

[@ifb-ung-756]

🇮🇳 love from India to BBC

[@messrsandersonco5985]

Who would have thought scientists could get so excited about their research! 😅

[@user-vy7je5bp3k]

Pluto resembles one big buckyball

[@chrisplace9773]

At least they beat the yanks into space ❤

[@Chamuzi]

When does the video actually start? The beginning of this video is hard to get past.

[@VSamsonPhotography]

You can skip the ads :)

[@esnevip]

Non American documentaries are just better, no angry voiceover, no flashing and quick cuts and silly sound effects constantly. No need for over hype, just good info, good job BBC.

[@Dlweta57]

Oh man finally, someone else , that shares my own views on post production bs that actually spoil the overall viewing experience. . hands clapping loudly, well said sir

[@werqweadcwer659]

37:51 Houston !!! Houston !!! we are bad at aiming !!!!

[@isaackitone]

Why do they show Jupiter on its side some times?

[@fabriciofercher8317]

WHAT ARE THOSE ABSTRACT FLAGS?

[@Continentalmunkey88]

Regression to the mean is demoralising but labor matters within decade time spans but careers may not always be meaningful within one year but are meaningful over a lifespan

[@jasonmcleod8914]

What still gets me, is they decided awhile ago, without any public input "Pluto is no longer considered a planet" and they ended the list at Neptune. Then we get a satellite to Pluto... heart shape on the surface. 😂💔

[@davidbeazley1958]

And flatearthers would have us believe that these passionate and dedicated scientists are all "faking it" 😒

[@jonathanturek5846]

So 9 years to fly 9 light hours... So 24 years to fly one light day.. 24 years x 365 light days x 4 = 35040 years to get 4 light years .. 35040 dived by 25 = 1401.6 generations of people to get to the closest exoplanet

[@propgee]

hmmmm, am i the only one saying hey Prof maybe nature doesn't make such geometrical shapes in cyclones lol

[@althepalno1164]

Giants Causeway is just one of many examples of nature making such shapes.

[@ChadwickTheChad]

You've already seen that it does.

[@abhijitpal7750]

The Most Powerful NUCLEAR WARHEADS Space. Artificial intelligence world.

[@user-sq8dm9et3m]

For idiots, we orbit around a SUN. Like a giant marble.....the sun. We orbit

[@josephduku6610]

At 5:14 the shape of a female face/head is visible on upper side of the planet..see it?

[@Rivenworld]

Why are the BBC showing ads? Really?

[@rundmk00]

they do outside of the UK, not every country has the license fee

[@jeelsvealnerve1163]

IT is YT that inserts the ads, not the BBC. It's part of the posting agreement.

[@7777Scion]

Nice, except for the, um ... 'optimistic' ... astronomers talking about going to Mars. We have no way to do that now or in the foreseeable future - sending corpses or dying people to arrive at Mars is not an option. A century or two from now, perhaps. In the meantime, channel gov't spending and resources towards better robot probes to the moons of the outer planets - where the real action is in this star system.

[@lvelez1999]

Praising God, for His Beautiful Wonders Which He Created, not Jupiter. Amazing ✝️

[@Hamphield]

If only the BBC stays with this type of programs and stop with the woke ba agenda, it would be great I wouldn't be mad paying for this

[@jessicawinslet684]

Ya srop putting out so much fake cgi and maybe people would get excited

[@user-sq8dm9et3m]

There is another planet........ circulating........................Planet X. ....................realize that our orbits are way way way vast. Hmmmm. we have a dark planet detected

[@Alitari]

The Russians didn't try to go to Venus, the Soviets did. The Russians are not the Soviets. The Soviets are not the Russians. Soviets could be Russian, and Russians could be Soviets, but they're not the same thing. Russians don't get credit for the achievements the Soviets did, like going to Venus.

[@Sp_acecowboy]

Triggered bruh?

[@thorthunder6336]

Lol. Fair response. Considering what an absolute donkey ruZzia is being, I’m triggered as well.

[@naziur_riaz]

​@@Sp_acecowboyhe is

[@danneerrr]

So the Soviet Union was a happy group of likeminded individuals that didn’t want their independence from Moscow?

[@FireflySpeedshop]

He’s not triggered, he’s right

[@robblack2741]

Does anybody still actually believe this stuff?

[@Hamphield]

I don't, this is all the absolute reality Believing it is irrelevant

[@robblack2741]

So u think the stuff they are showing on computer monitors is reality?

[@cluedin]

What r u talking about? Do we believe in science? Yes.

[@ChadwickTheChad]

​@@robblack2741What benefits do you get out of embarrassing yourself in public? I'm genuinely curious.

[@We_Reddit]

Before everyone jumps on me, I majored in science in college and I have a keen interest in learning about the universe and why things are why they are. But at this point, to be completely frank, why spend so much time effort and money to understand more the planets in the solar system, when we live on earth and don't spend anything to understand THIS planet? For example, the deep oceans or the rain forest. I am all for understanding the nature of black holes, gravitational fields and so on, but let's stop spending billions on what's in Jupiter and all the pretty photos that Juno is taking. It's not worthless, but I can't help but think sometimes the projects are to satisfy curiosities of a few group of people, and to pay their salaries.

[@Torimooo]

I think both is best, we should be studying everything around us.

[@jeffs6090]

That's like watching one of the many videos made by marine biologists on the deep ocean and saying, "why don't we spend money on exploring and understanding space?"

[@MoA-Reload...]

Back in the day it used to be how big your nations navy was. Then it was the big gun Battleship that were the status symbol. Now it's a nations space program. I agree with you. While space exploration and expanding our knowledge and understanding of that is extremely important, so is better understanding the world we live on because it's the only one we've got and there's no getting off this rock if/when we break it...at least not yet. Space is an easier sell to the governments and politicians though. It's also a potential modern day gold rush considering the vast resources and rare metals floating around out there. Now show up with a theory of vast gas and/or oil reserves in an unexplored region of the Atlantic or Pacific sea beds and you'll have all the funding you need to explore the snot out of that in an instant 😂

[@LordDeBahs]

whats a evidence of any of this ? there is lot of cgi here and painted ball pluto . how is posible to even know earth core exist ? deppest digged hole was 12 km . i only accept emipirical evidence at this point and there is none for heliocentric model

[@KnoTasItSeams]

We do study Earth! There’s enough scientists to study every niche subject on Earth and in space. Wish we had more though. More importantly we need to listen and trust those scientists when they talk about their specialty.

[@macbrewster9977]

i have a hard time taking anything seriously from such historically criminal apologists as these.

[@TerrysQuest]

"normal people don't get to see something like this..." so obviously she sees herself as a special person, "I'm one of only five people seeing this", etc. Get OVER yourself.

[@jeelsvealnerve1163]

Why shouldn't she be proud of her achievements? It takes a great deal of time and effort to get to a place in her career where she does have access to this kind of information. Why does that threaten you?

[@jacoblahr]

That girl @15:20 ish talking about venus is so beautiful. Id love to cook her dinner and discuss venus with her. Wish i could give her my # 😍 she is the goddess of beauty and love.

[@sadunperera999]

Women😂😂😂 as these women openien, after watching this video i think in every planet has life....

[@user-clintredwood]

Yea i dont think i need to write anything as all the other comments say it all!! Damn good content. Wow!
