Private Notes
Astronomers and planetary scientists examine Venus' intense greenhouse gases and acid rains corrosive enough to eat through metal, and they explain how the planet that once resembled Earth may hold clues to mankind's future.
With winds reaching a speed of 400 miles per hour, Jupiter's hurricane has carried on for at least 300 years, and state-of-the-art technology gives viewers a rare and in-depth look into the solar system's biggest storm on the planet.
Ranging from the size of golf balls to that of Mount Everest, large meteors are easily capable of causing global disaster and even extinction, and researchers attempt to determine when the next deadly meteor will strike Earth.
NASA missions, like Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity, reveal how the frozen desert planet is plagued with enormous sandstorms with speeds up to 200 miles per hour that last for months and stretch six miles into the sky.
Viewers are invited for an in-depth examination into the extremely hostile environment on Neptune as leading researchers reveal that the planet's winds blow nonstop at six times stronger than Earth's typical Category 5 hurricane.
In spite of its completely frozen surface, water lies below on Europa, Jupiter's mysterious moon, and researchers believe there may be life in those oceans, regardless of the thin atmosphere and temperatures twice as cold as Antarctica.
If a tornado, like those seen on the sun, should happen on earth, it would mean mass destruction over a huge area.
