The primordial dance of Saturn and Jupiter, and how it paved the way for Earth to become what it is today. To think Jupiter might have swallowed everything whole, but a dance with another gas giant changes its future into shielding us from comets. It's romantic!
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.
This is a 'supercut' of the original BBC productions that were originally narrated by scientist Brian Cox. Unfortunately (in my opinion), American audiences seem to want things with lots of talking heads, preferably with American-accented narration. Sigh.
Yeah you said it "animations" and "storytelling" There is no outer space we live under a dome in fishbowl surrounded by an ice wall and there is countless other fishbowls outside of the dome..
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.
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!
It reminds me of C.S. Lewis’s Planetary Trilogy, which depicts each planet as having a divinely appointed guardian angel/personification, called an Oyarsa. (However, in CSL’s books, the Oyarsas are all stern but benevolent, since they’re servants of God. And as such they are friendly to one another, not fighting amongst themselves. The exception is Earth’s Oyarsa, who is corrupt, allowing the presence of evil on this world.)
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! 🤯
I would say the old BBC documentaries were great. Pre-2000s and social media. The generations before ran things with integrity and they did it with love.
Finally someone calls it like it is. The politics and the predatory antics of the some of the utter weirdos who have been at the Beeb over the years is questionable, but the quality is not.
@sTraYa249 Examples please in documentaries? PS you do realise that the BBC has been attacked by the political left and political right over the decades right? Just because you don't agree with some statements doesn't make them wrong. I actually think it's a rather pathetic trait in modern society that when people hear things they disagree with they get all complainy about it. As long as they are not lies then people on TV can say what they like.
When a media giant like the BBC is involved in covering wonderful topics like astronomy, then imagination is brought to life. The sound effects and the narrative are quite on point. I love good work and this is one of such. Keep it up.

She did a wonderful job of using words to describe what she saw in her mind, which is usually a trait/ability of good writers/authors, it's rare (but quite welcome) to see in a scientist.
Her initial description, and then saying "I've said it over and over.....they should put that in a movie", and I'm thinking "LOL, CONGRATS to you, because haven't they! That sounds very similar to some dialogue in a late '90s blockbuster film to me!!"

I saw this special on PBS a few years ago and it literally changed how I look at our solar system. I had never been so interested in it before until I watched it. The Planets really did change my outlook and- I am so eager to learn more about our system now!

Thank you PBS/BBC for showing it!
I also had a hard time finding videos like this about the same subject matter that matched the quality of this. Kosmo is the channel I found that is full of excellent videos. I highly recommend looking into it if you enjoyed this one.
Other episodes don't compare because this "documentary" is a fairy tale. They GUESS that this is how the universe is; they don't really know. Yet they present all of this as facts. It's sickening. They're more sure about space than Christians are about God. That should tell you everything you need to know.
@@trentp151 Scientists don't believe in scientific certainty. None of them do. In fact, I've heard several theoretical physicists say they hope their current theories are wrong, because that would mean something more amazing would be true, and it would mean more work for theoretical physicists. That sort of thing excites them! Scientists often suffer from communication problems. Christians actually believe the things they say (usually), but scientists describe theories that contain inherent uncertainty, only they tend to forget to say things like, "According to this theory," or "This is what we think is happening." They know when they are talking to other scientists, that much can be assumed, as it is with most of the public, but some people don't assume that. Some people think science is unassailable, and that's just dead wrong. You know that, and so do I, but some people don't, and scientists speaking to the public always need to be wary of that. I'm a retired scientist, but not in this field. I'm fully aware of how science works and the strengths and weaknesses it has as a system, but it is the only knowledge system that can be reliably shared and built on - until a problem is discovered, at which point we adjust our theories and hypotheses to fit the evidence. In that way, although science does not yield certainty, it is self-correcting.
Every time I watch a documentary like this, I marvel on how much had to go right and what were the mathematical odds that life on earth what would be possible

@JustLucky825 Light is literally as fast as it gets, and yet it is so incredibly slow on the large scale. It's kinda sad, because it puts a hard limit on our ability to explore the galaxy. We can just forget about ever traveling outside the Milky Way. 😔
3:19 I really struggled to get through this section. I’m only 29. I think about my own mortality WAY more than probably most of my peers. I know I won’t be around to see the end of it all… but it makes me simultaneously greatly appreciative and grateful, yet exceedingly depressed. Look at what we’ve done to our planet. And the way humans treat each other. And the way we treat “lesser” species. It makes me wonder what the point of it all is. It makes me sad. And scared.
Scared of not existing? I think it's natural. Only thing that soothes the thought of it, for me, is appreciating the time I have with my immediate family. Finding ways to make them happy, makes me happy
An Absolutely Fantastic documentary not only for us adults but also the little ones (primary school) & also high school pupils. without doubt this download is getting saved & Full marks 🌟 👏🌟👏🌟👏🌟 Thanks👌for the download👍
for people who enjoyed this, I strongly recommend watching the whole series (The Planets is a 2019 BBC/PBS television documentary series about the Solar System presented by Professor Brian Cox in the UK version and Zachary Quinto in the US version.) I prefer the original (Brian Cox) version. This is just a hastily put together summary of one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
I’m beginning to realize that exoplanets are not candidates for a new home. They may be in the Goldilocks Zone, but our planet has something rare and each planet in our Solar System serves a purpose to protect and help Earth’s sustainability. This is a truly remarkable documentary. Quinto can tell me stories all day but I think I’d fall asleep.
yes! you need oxygen, a magnetic field perhaps a tilted orbit, a moon or two to prevent flooding,a calm core [most likely nickle to create a magnetic field], a stable atmosphere, complete random chance, mitochondria formation,a dwarf star to prevent the star from dying mid way through evolution, a stable orbit, other planets need a stable orbit, a far out asteroid belt and most likely much much MUCH more!
@@herorisk Theoretically, you could use a "hot rock"--a celestial body that isn't a star but is hot--to provide energy. It wouldn't give light but warmth. Since geothermal vents have proven that life can occur without light.
oh 100% im positive if earth became rouge life would still survive, even thrive below the mass ice sheets of the ocean, warmed by the core@@Badficwriter
I appreciate your detailed explanations of our solar system and I feel proud to say that we have great people on earth who would go all in to make us know more of our solar system. I am proud of you all
I did not know there was sound in space. Learn something new every day. Thanks, BBC! That aside, and yes, I was being sarcastic about sound, I like this documentary.
I feel so enlightened. I can’t thank you guys enough for this documentary. I’ve just told my younger brother to watch. I’ll keep passing this link down to enlighten more. 🙂
All this made me tear up and cry out, “Oh, GOD, how awesome YOU are and how magnificent YOU are”. My soul leaps for joy too at how marvelous we are made. Read Psalm 139. There are still so many wonderful things that we have not even tapped into. I can’t wait til we see JESUS face to face and see heaven. Our knowledge, like our brain, is puny and is incapable of handling the FULL STORY. How great is our GOD!!!
This is not Joanne it's her son I have just watched this, and it's another very, very good documentary about the planets. I lv watching these sort of videos me.. These planet programmes with the hole programme with it showing in depth the planets are the best. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@vade137 A documentary film or documentary is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education or maintaining a historical record." This is most definitely not a story
@@lukasm.1894 Okay, then it''s a mockumentary. The computer generated images are real in that a person sat down and created the images...but, they have no idea if that is an accurate depiction of 'space'.
@@vade137what difference does it make?? Just enjoy the video. Whether or not it's the artist depiction doesn't change the fact that it's scary, informative and beautiful at the same time
This was definitely the best presentation I've ever seen about the planets. Great visuals, amazing cinematic effects, kept my attention the full video. I enjoyed this very much. And it was very informative. Great job!
funny, my comment was deleted because I called this out as being a drama and having absolutely nothing to do with reality. YT algorithm wants you to believe computer generated images are real life!
I like Zachary Quinto but come on Brian Cox is a legend. He’s so passionate about physics I love it and thank him for being my 1st year prof on particle physics made the maths much more bearable!
The person narrating this documentary really has a fine and good pleasent narrating voice for documentaries ❤️ This was yet again a fine, but entertaining and educational documentary thank you!🙏🏼
@@Mossyz. save that comment for Soldiers and people who actually deserve to hear that said to them, not some random dude online who only said the narrator name
The original version with Brian Cox is FAR better i don't know why Americans decided to cut up the original. Seriously do yourselves a favour and watch the normal version with Brian Cox instead.
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading such wonderful content that is interesting, educational, and beautifully made. Great stuff BBC Earth Lab.
@@vade137 OMG you mean to say they didn't send a camera man to the outer solar system!? MY GOD YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES! YOU TRUELY ARE EARTHS GREATEST DETECTIVE.
Dealing with space on my own channel for so many years, I've kinda taken for granted the sheer size of some of these planets. These cinematics gave me pause and helped rekindle the awe.
Great documentary! However was disappointed that there was no segment on Venus, my favorite planet! How did it get so hot, why does it rotate differently, what does the surface look like, etc. And yes, I understand this is about planets, but what about Titan, Enceladeus, and Europa? Moons, but small planets in their own right.
Venus is exceptionally hot because it's thick atmosphere has trapped the greenhouse gases that have escaped from inside the planet, creating a runaway temperature increase. Venus spins in retrograde most likely due to an impact with a similarly-sized object fairly early on during the planet formation period of our solar system. This impact could have caused the planet to slow it's rotation to the point of stillness, and could even have been strong enough to reverse the course of the planet's direction of motion. Another possibility is that Venus actually still rotates in the same direction as the other planets, but that an impact knocked it over 180°, thus making it appear to be rotating in reverse.
All of a sudden I feel driven towards the mysteries of the universe and I'm so overwhelmed with excitement about all this. Just make me more curious to understand it all. Amazing documentary 👍🇧🇷
The best astronomy documentary show series , A,+++ to all the smart people who produce , very interesting space show ...A+++...to the beautiful , peaceful voice , clear diction , human being...I could listen to he melodios voice , forever....Stay healthy and happy all of you , including mr Zachary Quinto..

I know I won’t be around to see the end of it all… but it makes me simultaneously greatly appreciative and grateful, yet exceedingly depressed. Look at what we’ve done to our planet. And the way humans treat each other. And the way we treat “lesser” species. It makes me wonder what the point of it all is. It makes me sad. And scared.
welcome to nature
there isnt a point to all of it i dont think. You have to add your own purpose to life but inherently there is no purpose
It can take a lifetime to come to terms with it all & to be at peace with the inevitable
Scared of not existing? I think it's natural. Only thing that soothes the thought of it, for me, is appreciating the time I have with my immediate family. Finding ways to make them happy, makes me happy
I feel the same way!! Irrationally depressed because the end is so inevitable.
Saturn and Jupiter acting like the big brothers of the family, protecting their small sisters. 😎
An Absolutely Fantastic documentary not only for us adults but also the little ones (primary school) & also high school pupils. without doubt this download is getting saved & Full marks 🌟 👏🌟👏🌟👏🌟 Thanks👌for the download👍
for people who enjoyed this, I strongly recommend watching the whole series (The Planets is a 2019 BBC/PBS television documentary series about the Solar System presented by Professor Brian Cox in the UK version and Zachary Quinto in the US version.) I prefer the original (Brian Cox) version. This is just a hastily put together summary of one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
OH!!! I was wondering why it is a bit disjointed and seems to have some information missing. Thanks for the tip to check out the original series!
So glad I've scrolled far enough to see this comment, thank you for recommendation!
I’m beginning to realize that exoplanets are not candidates for a new home. They may be in the Goldilocks Zone, but our planet has something rare and each planet in our Solar System serves a purpose to protect and help Earth’s sustainability. This is a truly remarkable documentary. Quinto can tell me stories all day but I think I’d fall asleep.
Yes, being a rocky planet in the goldilocks zone is not enough. Many other factors, including timing, are extremely important!
yes! you need oxygen, a magnetic field perhaps a tilted orbit, a moon or two to prevent flooding,a calm core [most likely nickle to create a magnetic field], a stable atmosphere, complete random chance, mitochondria formation,a dwarf star to prevent the star from dying mid way through evolution, a stable orbit, other planets need a stable orbit, a far out asteroid belt and most likely much much MUCH more!
@@herorisk Theoretically, you could use a "hot rock"--a celestial body that isn't a star but is hot--to provide energy. It wouldn't give light but warmth. Since geothermal vents have proven that life can occur without light.
oh 100% im positive if earth became rouge life would still survive, even thrive below the mass ice sheets of the ocean, warmed by the core@@Badficwriter
this is the best space documentary I've ever seen. this was better than interstellar too
I appreciate your detailed explanations of our solar system and I feel proud to say that we have great people on earth who would go all in to make us know more of our solar system. I am proud of you all
They are liars

Are you religious?
I did not know there was sound in space. Learn something new every day. Thanks, BBC! That aside, and yes, I was being sarcastic about sound, I like this documentary.
I feel so enlightened. I can’t thank you guys enough for this documentary. I’ve just told my younger brother to watch. I’ll keep passing this link down to enlighten more. 🙂
38:57 made me feel like crying out of gratitude towards mother Earth
All this made me tear up and cry out, “Oh, GOD, how awesome YOU are and how magnificent YOU are”. My soul leaps for joy too at how marvelous we are made. Read Psalm 139. There are still so many wonderful things that we have not even tapped into. I can’t wait til we see JESUS face to face and see heaven. Our knowledge, like our brain, is puny and is incapable of handling the FULL STORY. How great is our GOD!!!
Thank you Earth Lab so much for spectacular documentary, you are the real MVPs!
I put this on almost every night when I go to sleep. One of the best documentaries I have seen.
This is not Joanne it's her son
I have just watched this, and it's another very, very good documentary about the planets. I lv watching these sort of videos me..
These planet programmes with the hole programme with it showing in depth the planets are the best. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
No one cares who it is
@@rowan6207 idk I think it’s kinda cute lol
We need more documentaries like this one. Spectacular!
This is not a "documentary"...it's a story.
@@vade137 A documentary film or documentary is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education or maintaining a historical record."
This is most definitely not a story
@@lukasm.1894 Okay, then it''s a mockumentary. The computer generated images are real in that a person sat down and created the images...but, they have no idea if that is an accurate depiction of 'space'.
@@vade137what difference does it make?? Just enjoy the video. Whether or not it's the artist depiction doesn't change the fact that it's scary, informative and beautiful at the same time
Jupiter, I can't ever thank you enough. You're seriously a cosmic prince 💗💗
Can we please appreciate that the bbc is giving us this amazing content for free 👏👏👏
Nothing is for free off the BBC.
(cries in £159py)
**Sobs in TV license**
I think most of us don't really think about this often but we as humans are so insignificant!
as a space enthusiast this is AMAZING
Yay!!! New episode of our mighty solar system. I have my hot beet tea and now watching. Have a great night and blessed night everyone. Love lots!❤❤❤
I’m watching URanus with a telescope now.
Beet tea? How did you get the idea to make tea of beet roots?
Pleasantly surprised at the lack of “can we take a moment to appreciate the cameraman” comments 😬
I just LOVE this kind of documentaries!!! It's what I live for on TH-cam.
Very cool that we can watch this quality production for free
It is not free. It is paid for by the BBC TV licence payers!
The score for this documentary alone is stunning. Absolutely beautiful.
Sometimes I wonder if there’s life outside of planet earth?
There must be. There gotta be. We shouldn’t be alone in all the vastness of the Universe.
Well done BBC, I personally would love to view this in the cinema on the big screen, added the deep bass from the surround sound system! Anyone else?
Great to see Carolyn Porco, Andy Ingersoll and Dave Grinspoon on here, I remember watching them in the original Planets series on the BBC in 1999!
Moral of the story as I understand it: Saturn is a badass that can make even a monster like Jupiter run for the hills.
The only thing i love about BBC are their documentaries. Thank you for this. And you should be ashamed for your news anchor and tv license.
This was definitely the best presentation I've ever seen about the planets. Great visuals, amazing cinematic effects, kept my attention the full video. I enjoyed this very much. And it was very informative. Great job!
literally all of this is fake bro

Finally...someone who gets this is a fun and beautiful story...but not a documentary or educational...it's a beautiful and fantastical story.
Thanks, dawg!
funny, my comment was deleted because I called this out as being a drama and having absolutely nothing to do with reality. YT algorithm wants you to believe computer generated images are real life!
so interesting to listen and view. Brings the true nature of celestial events no one has control of. Loved to see every inch of it.
more of this !
I like Zachary Quinto but come on Brian Cox is a legend. He’s so passionate about physics I love it and thank him for being my 1st year prof on particle physics made the maths much more bearable!
Omg, thank you, I was trying to place that voice!
@@sadakoprochichi no problem glad to help
@@sadakoprochichisame! Thought it sounded just like robot from invincible
Mesmerizing graphics combined with the narrator’s soft vocal quality creates a soothingly engaging documentary experience.
The person narrating this documentary really has a fine and good pleasent narrating voice for documentaries ❤️
This was yet again a fine, but entertaining and educational documentary thank you!🙏🏼
Zachary Quinto - Mr Spock from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek ;)
@@MichalKaczorowski Thank you for your service
@@Mossyz. save that comment for Soldiers and people who actually deserve to hear that said to them, not some random dude online who only said the narrator name
@@existenceispain6048 fair point .
The original version with Brian Cox is FAR better i don't know why Americans decided to cut up the original. Seriously do yourselves a favour and watch the normal version with Brian Cox instead.
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading such wonderful content that is interesting, educational, and beautifully made.
Great stuff BBC Earth Lab.
How is this educational...it's a story, they made it up. Interesting and beautiful are accurate descriptions.
@@vade137 If you fail to see any educational merit to this program; I fail to desire to help you with that. Have a great day.
@@jodyknight funny...I'm just trying to help you along through these lies.
@@vade137 No you're not, stop lying whilst trying to spread your BS!
@@vade137 OMG you mean to say they didn't send a camera man to the outer solar system!? MY GOD YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES!
YOU TRUELY ARE EARTHS GREATEST DETECTIVE.
Zachary’s voice is really beautiful here.
"Infinite sheet of gleaming debris" is quite the poetry.
BBC does make excellent documentary, I can’t say the same for the news.
Its ok to think we are special, that is exactly what will take humanity forward.
We need to save this earth 🌎 and our planet
Fun fact: just like other stars, the Sun has a name: Sol.
Believe it or not, the Moon has a name too: Luna
Those words are just Latin for sun and moon. Your comment is the biggest facepalm ever. 🤦🏻♂️
Earth also has a name: Terra.
You guys are speaking Latin.
Sol=the sun
Luna=the moon
Terra=Earth
Since we call it the sun isn't that its name?
@@frankbandera6591 Spanish too.
Though in Spanish, Earth is Tierra
Such a wonderful documentary !!! thank you !!!!
This was excellent, thank you for the upload!
Dealing with space on my own channel for so many years, I've kinda taken for granted the sheer size of some of these planets.
These cinematics gave me pause and helped rekindle the awe.
I love the planets and our solar system, Saturn is my favorite
😂
Earth is mine 🌍
I love this channel so much
Fanny was 19, Pau 17, and Ale had just turned 15!!!
One of my favorite TW videos ever.
Great doc to watch before playing Starfield
I believe even kids will have ideas from this masterpiece
I'm obsessed with this narrator's voice
He is that actor from Hero’s and the new Star Trek movies. Zachary Quinto I think his name.
i fell asleep and wokeup to someone talking about cosmic phenomena
Great documentary! However was disappointed that there was no segment on Venus, my favorite planet! How did it get so hot, why does it rotate differently, what does the surface look like, etc. And yes, I understand this is about planets, but what about Titan, Enceladeus, and Europa? Moons, but small planets in their own right.
Venus is exceptionally hot because it's thick atmosphere has trapped the greenhouse gases that have escaped from inside the planet, creating a runaway temperature increase.
Venus spins in retrograde most likely due to an impact with a similarly-sized object fairly early on during the planet formation period of our solar system. This impact could have caused the planet to slow it's rotation to the point of stillness, and could even have been strong enough to reverse the course of the planet's direction of motion. Another possibility is that Venus actually still rotates in the same direction as the other planets, but that an impact knocked it over 180°, thus making it appear to be rotating in reverse.
Thank you for giving us a glance at the universe ☺️
I love the history of our solar system!! Some people find it boring but not me !!
It's insane how Mars is half the size of Earth but still has the largest mountain, largest lake and largest waterfall
Everything is big on Mars because of the lower gravity compared to Earth. Mountains and canyons can get big on Mars.
Brilliant, BBC. Well done.
Absolutely fascinating! ❤
Wow, a full show, not a 2 minute trailer for the actual video - keep those changes coming!
(23:04 An impressive 100,5% content!)
You beat me to it. The planet that is more than 100%. That is impressive!
at 59:46 zach says "nuclear winter" when there's a term for this phenomenon, it's called an impact winter
I suspect the name will change again as its pointed out that "winter" is meaningless on planets like Jupiter.
I’ve honestly watched this more than four times now, what a beautiful documentary👏. Rewatching it again.😂
All of a sudden I feel driven towards the mysteries of the universe and I'm so overwhelmed with excitement about all this. Just make me more curious to understand it all. Amazing documentary 👍🇧🇷
That was absolutely incredible. What a wonderful production! I need to pay for a subscription to BBC or something. How do we further fund this stuff?
We are not the only living beings in universe
We don’t have proof otherwise
