About The Most Earth-Like Planets Ever Discovered

Are we truly alone in the universe, or is "Second Genesis" inevitable? In this investigation, we go behind the scenes of NASA’s Kepler mission to uncover the most Earth-like exoplanets ever detected. From the "Super-Earth" Kepler 452b to the sub-zero methane lakes of Titan and the geysers of Enceladus, we explore the extreme environments where life might be hiding in plain sight.

Did The Entire Universe Begin From Nothing?

What if everything we know—our bodies, the planets, and the 100 billion galaxies in the cosmos—sprang from absolute nothingness? In this deep dive, we uncover the mind-bending history of the vacuum, tracking how human ingenuity defied Aristotle's ancient laws to prove that "nothing" is nature's default state. From the high-stakes experiments weighing our atmosphere to Einstein’s revolution, we peer into the submicroscopic world where reality gets weird. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.

The Planetary Crash That Melted Earth at 7 Miles Per Second

Five billion years ago, Earth didn't exist — it was just a chaotic cloud of toxic gas and star dust. In this gripping episode of Naked Science, we uncover the violent, high-octane history of how our planet survived a 12,000°F cosmic furnace, a relentless 1,000,000 mph solar wind, and a cataclysmic collision with a Mars-sized planet moving at 7 miles per second.

The Nearest Planets That Could Have Alien Life

For decades, humanity has looked at the stars and asked one terrifying question: Are we alone? In this deep-dive investigation, Life in Outer Space explores the high-octane world of astrobiology and the multi-billion dollar missions designed to find life in the most hostile corners of our solar system. From the frozen oceans of Europa and the methane storms of Titan to the "Tiger Stripes" of Enceladus, we analyze the cutting-edge technology—like the Kepler probe and the Mars 2020 rover—pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Does The Universe Have an Edge?

For centuries, humanity believed our world was enclosed in a rigid, tiny shell of stars. This high-octane investigation reveals the mind-bending cosmic triggers and rogue scientists who shattered that illusion to map the true scale of reality. From a colossal 1572 supernova shining 5 billion times brighter than our sun, to Albert Einstein's revolutionary realization that gravity is just warped space, we track how humanity decoded an expanding universe.
