Trivia
When the Venera probes first sent back their images from the surface of Venus, there was wide speculation that there was life on the planet due to irregularities in the images noted as "black flaps" and "scorpions". It wasn't until later confirmed that the anomalies in the images were simply artifacts due to image processing. The surface of Venus is essentially the temperature of the inside of a burning house.

Alternate versions
Shown in the USA on PBS's "Nova" series, with narration of Brian Cox replaced by voice of Zachary Quinto.

10/10

The Existential End of Industrial Philosophy

A spectacular show made for a world that has forgotten how to dream. The effects and music are masterfully interwoven. The narration perfectly succinct and elevated.

This show is made to leave you in awe. It all feels natural, not dramatised and out of context.

Next year should be about habitable exoplanets, binary star systems and planets caught in the firing range of supernova and neutron stars.
