NARRATOR:
From the beginning of mankind,people have looked up to the stars,
wondering what marvels could
be found out there.
As science and technology developed,
we finally got some answers.
neighbouring planets that
spin around the sun,
just like the Earth.
of incredible beauty,
stars exploding into supernovas
and even black holes.
Ls mankind ready for its biggest discovery?
With our instruments,
satellites and spacecraft
becoming more and more advanced,
we are finding more and
more distant planets.
in the vast depths of space?
And could there be alien life?
The answers are out
there, in our universe.
Earth. Our beautiful blue planet. Our home.
Seven billion people live here.
By the sea,
on land,
in the mountains
and in vast cities.
We have evolved from cavemen
to the information society.
Science is exploring all aspects of nature,
be it on our planet or beyond it.
Huge archives of data have been created,
providing answers to many questions.
We have come a long way
from the beginning of the space age,
when the first satellites were launched,
and man set foot on the moon.
Our probes have visited all the planets
of our solar system
and delivered a lot of data.
We now have a good understanding of how
our home system in this universe works.
There are eight major planets.
Mercury, which is closest to the sun,
and very barren.
Venus, with her thick atmosphere
and furious volcanoes.
Earth, the only known planet to host life.
And Mars, the Red Planet, a neighbour
that has had a lot of human-made visitors.
Farther out is Jupiter, a giant made of gas,
with over 60 moons.
Saturn, with its mighty ring system.
And, finally, Uranus and Neptune,
the "ice giants".
Beyond them lie huge asteroid fields
and some dwarf planets, like Pluto and Eris.
All these heavenly bodies revolve
around the sun.
It's the centre of our solar system
and also its superpower.
Without the sun,
life on Earth wouldn't be possible at all.
Basically, the sun is a gigantic energy
reactor that produces radiation and light.
In order to be able to look at the sun
with our human eyes,
we need to decrease its luminosity
by 98% first.
We are now looking at the pulsating surface.
The temperature here is
over 3 million degrees Fahrenheit.
The darker areas are the sunspots. They
are plasma craters the size of the Earth,
where temperatures are lower.
The brightest areas, on the other hand,
are solar flares.
The plasma there reaches temperatures
of up to 10 million degrees.
These flares can cause ripples that look
just like ripples on a pond from here,
when in fact the waves are 2 miles high,
and move at hundreds
of thousands of miles per hour.
But the highest temperatures are
found in the very core of the sun,
going up to almost 30 million degrees,
because in here
hydrogen is constantly fused into helium.
Through this process of nuclear fusion,
the sun releases energy
equalling millions of atomic bombs
every second.
A great deal of this energy is
released in the form of photons.
These photons dart around the core
at light speed,
but they collide with matter so often,
that it takes them thousands of years
to finally escape into open space.
From there,
they only need about eight minutes
to cover the 100 million miles to Earth
and arrive here as what we know as sunlight.
But the sun doesn't only supply light.
It's responsible for 99% of the Earth's
energy intake.
