Today on Far Future Horizons we present another episode of the acclaimed documentary series The Universe.

How The Moon Was Made

Without the moon, Earth would be a very different and desolate place today--four hours of sunlight with pitch-black nights, steady 100-mph winds spawning giant hurricanes that last for months, and virtually no complex life forms, much less humans. Safe to say, we probably owe our very existence to the moon. But what if it suddenly disappeared?

The Search for a Second Earth

Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting episode of the acclaimed documentary series “How the Universe Works”.

What If the Moon Didn't Exist?

Today on Far Future Horizons we present two video features that will allow us to glimpse an alternative evolutionary history of our planet. How would our world and the life on it have evolved if our planet was not accompanied by a natural satellite such as the Moon? How would have the evolutionary history of our planet have unfolded over the course of its four and half billion year history if the Moon didn't exist?

Without the moon, humans wouldn’t exist. Life, if it had started at all, would be in the earliest stages of evolution. Days would last four hours, winds would blow at hurricane force and there would be a dense and toxic atmosphere resembling that of Venus.

Luckily, fifty million years after the formation of the solar system, our proto-planet was hit by a celestial body more than twice the size of Mars, which formed the moon. In this one-hour special, viewers will learn what Earth was like before the moon and what Earth would be like if the moon disappeared.

Cosmic Odyssey – Twenty-first Century Cosmos

Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting episode from the documentary series “Cosmic Odyssey" narrated by Star Trek’s William Shatner.

Cosmic Odyssey – Stellar Evolution

Each of us, in the immortal words of the American poet Walt Whitman, “…are the journeywork of the stars, no less than the leaves of grass." As Carl Sagan would put it later in the twentieth century – “Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars… We humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work… and we, who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder about our origins… star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet earth… Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring”.

Today on Far Future we trace this stellar legacy. We present an episode of Cosmic Odyssey narrated by the veteran actor William Shatner.
