Solar System (2024) TV Thread

[Bob the Ninja]

Fascinating programme.

Those cryo-volcanoes on Enceladus are incredible!

I love how Cox can link simple phenomena here on earth (spinning a hard boiled egg as opposed to a fresh one) to explain how deductions are made for things millions of miles away!

This is the BBC at their best.

I enjoyed what I saw of it. Different to the bog-standard programme on the subject with new info - to me anyway.

Watched two episodes. Brilliant.

The size of the solar system alone is mind blowing. Love that comets from way beyond what we used to think was the edge of the solar system have paid us a visit.

Loads of fascinating stuff. Mars going to get its own ring system, knowing Neptune was once much closer to the sun before it marauded out, Triton circling the other way round etc.

Yeah, never knew a lot of that. Pity it'll be millions of years until the Mars ring. It would have been good to see in the sky.

Exceptionally good series. Fantastic visuals.
