So Saturn was our saviour by reigning in Jupiter and Jupiter ends up as our protector by hoovering up all the dangerous garbage rock, nice to have big brothers.
This is one of the most epic space documentaries I've ever seen the animations, musical score, and storytelling all combine to make it truly special. Absolutely breathtaking.
I’m high asf watching this full thing
Before watching it, I thought this was a regular space documentary about eight planets in our solar system. But you guys proved me wrong. This is one of the best space documentaries that I've seen. It's amazing that it's free.
What's your favourite celestial story? 🪐
The animation and presentation of this is absolutely incredible. Kudos
I love how mysterious space is, I wish I could be around 1,000 years from now to see how far we've progressed
Shout out to the camera crew that went ahead of all the satellites to catch footage of them passing by each planet. I appreciate you.❤
My favourite part of this doco is at 49:04. Her enthusiasm for describing Saturn’s rings is captivating.
Oh my god!!! A new episode, a full episode, Zachary Quinto narrating and the best visuals I've seen in such a documentary. I am happy, I want to find more of these but have had no luck so far.
Press F to pay respects to Pluto that used to be the 9th Planet 😩
I don't know why but this whole documentary the way it describes the planets is as if they were gods above our celestial planes, fighting amongst one another, casting asteroids, shaping our environment and saving us from destruction... Non the less great documentary!
New found appreciation for Saturn. Bless saturn for stopping Jupiter from absolutely wrecking our chances of sitting here and watching this video.
The BBC do the best documentaries.
I don't mind the narrator's voice (is it Zachary Quinto?), even if it's not Sir David Attenborough.
Each planet in our solar system is a wonder of its own, showcasing the incredible diversity and beauty of the cosmos. From the majestic rings of Saturn to the fiery storms on Jupiter, the wonders of our solar system never cease to amaze.
The irony of diamonds raining on Saturn is a reminder life is all about perspective
For anyone who r going to watch this, I suggest u watch this with headphones or surround sound systems. The Sound effects and music are the masterpieces by themselves! Goosebump guaranteed! 🤯
Jupiter: "Screw everything." Saturn: "Chill bro."
This is so calming watching in bed late at night.. I just passed my CDCII exam in addictions counseling tonight! Blessings from NP, Alaska🫶
