- DirectorDana BerryStarsPhil PlaitJohn M. GrunsfeldJeff HesterHubble Space Telescope is awaiting one final shuttle servicing mission, but why is a telescope worth the risk? Hubble has made numerous discoveries, such as the birth of stars, the death of stars, the existence of black holes, the violence of a comet crash, charting Dark Matter clouds, and discovering 2/3rds of the Universe itself, in the form of mysterious Dark Energy. One day, the Hubble mission will end, and Hubble will burn up in the atmosphere. But a new telescope, the James Webb, will take its place among the stars.
- StarsBrian CoxBill AndersCharles DukeBrian travels the globe to discuss these topics with examples from our planet and others in the universe.
- DirectorDuncan CoppStarsJames S. BullockReg E. CatheyEmbark on an astounding journey across 100,000 light-years to witness key moments in the history of the Milky Way.

- StarsSteve JacobsBeau WeaverMichael MassiminoTravel through the universe to explore the really big questions. Is there life on other planets? Just how big was the Big Bang? What would traveling at "warp speed" really look like? Could wormholes make time travel a reality? Could life on earth survive another huge meteor strike like the one that took out the dinosaurs?
- StarsNeil deGrasse TysonBrian CoxBrian GreeneProfessor Brian Cox on tour in Australia talks about the life of our universe to scientists and to space-loving audiences.

- StarsIain StewartKevin SwainDean Ah CheeThe epic story of how the world's continents were created, featuring Professor Iain Stewart.
- StarsJim Al-KhaliliFran BagenalDavid JewittThe ultimate guide to humankind's exploration of our Solar System, told by the passionate explorers who sent spacecraft to every major celestial body yet visited. From the raging inferno of Sun all the way to the icy beauty of Pluto, these are emotional tales of discovery, illustrated with stunning space imagery, often revealing the possibility of life beyond Earth. Discover how, by dodging deadly radiation belts, we now know that beneath Jupiter's swirling clouds lies a ball of spinning liquid metal, or how Saturn's rings were formed at the time of the dinosaurs and are kept stable today by dozens of tiny moons. Marvel at the possibility that we may already have discovered life on Mars in a key experiment carried out in 1976, only for a controversial decision by scientists led them to ignore the result. Learn the amazing story of how we finally made it to the hellish surface of Venus, a feat that has been compared to sending a deep-sea submarine to another planet. These billion dollar missions often took decades to plan and execute, with the very real possibility of failure at any time. There is jeopardy and stress at every turn - entire careers are at stake. In this way, Secrets Of The Solar System is about more than space exploration; these are surprisingly moving human stories featuring many of the world's top space scientists, and they reveal not just wonderful, far away vistas and amazing science, but also the dedication and perseverance needed to explore the Solar System for all humanity.
