Whenever I watch these space documentaries, I think "It's all happening by itself, so there's nothing to worry about", and its peaceful. Isn't it?

Can we just take a second to appreciate the brave cameraman who took all this footage?

Mercury I think has probably one of the most interesting pasts of all the planets. It’s very possible that even a complex form of life existed on mercury. Thereby crashing into earth, waving behind much of its crust and resources to condense back into the earths crust along with the recipe for life to form here. Even potentially forming part of our moon as a remnant of the collision.

Reading this thread feels like stargazing together — awe, humor, gratitude, and wonder all at once. Space really puts life into perspective. Wishing everyone here endless curiosity, calm nights, and a universe that keeps inspiring us ✨🌌

The best narrator is Samuel West! The best voice ever!

I just realized the narrator is the guy who played Spock on the new Star Treks! Interesting that he is following the footsteps of Leonard Nimoy who went from Star Trek to narrating science documentaries.
