An Odyssey to the Edge of Darkness

Join us today on Far Future Horizons as we embark on a journey beyond the Sun, the Earth and the inner planets, into the frigid realm of the giant planets and beyond. 

Finding Life Beyond Earth

Join us today on Far Future Horizons as we embark on a spectacular journey to the distant reaches of our solar system to discover where  life may lie hidden and waiting to be discovered.

Combining the latest telescope images with dazzling CGI animation, this documentary immerses the audience in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system. 

Exodus Earth ~ Callisto

Today on Far Future Horizons we join physicist Dr. Basil Singer in exploring the potential of establishing a human outpost in the Jovian system on the moon Callisto.

Callisto is one of the Galilean moons discovered by Galileo in January 1610 along with three other large Jovian moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa.

Callisto is the third-largest moon in the Solar System and the second largest in the Jovian system, after Ganymede. Callisto has about 99% the diameter of the planet Mercury but only about a third of its mass. It is the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter by distance, with an orbital radius of about 1,880,000 km.

The Universe ~ The Outer Planets

Today on Far Future Horizons we are going to take a grand tour of the Outer Planets of our solar system. Our video feature for today is episode eleven of the first season of the History Channel’s outstanding documentary series – The Universe.


This instalment of “The Universe” looks at the solar system's most distant worlds – Uranus, a gas giant with the most extreme axial tilt of any known planet and its wildly orbiting moon Triton; its near-twin Neptune and its moons; and finally, distant Pluto which orbits the sun every 248 years.

New discoveries regarding the Outer Planets are creating a fundamental rethinking of our solar system. Uranus is a toxic combination of hydrogen, helium and methane. Scientists speculate that the planet was knocked on its side.
