Oceans of the Solar System

Today on Far Future Horizons we present will be exploring the Alien Seas and Oceans of our Solar System with today’s feature videos.

Europa: Journey to an Alien Ocean

Today on Far Future Horizons we will take a 485 million mile journey to the planet Jupiter and visit its ice covered moon Europa, drill its icy crust and plunge into its vast alien ocean to answer a basic question - Are we alone in the universe?

 

In this episode of National Geographic Explorer, we will plunge headlong into the challenges of discovery on an alien world. We will meet the scientists, adventurers, and engineers who are determined to launch a mission to Europa and follow them through the challenges, frustrations, and triumphs that come with planning a mission to a distant alien world. Through the miracle of CGI we will take an unprecedented voyage into the very depths of an alien ocean in search of the strange and exotic life that may inhabit this alien abyss.

Known Universe - Final Frontiers

Today on Far Future Horizons we present an episode of the National Geographic Channel’s outstanding documentary series “Known Universe” that deals with two endeavours very dear to our hearts, the exploration and eventual settlement of the new frontiers of sea and space. These are the main goals of the organization we are closely associated with – The League of New Worlds.

A Traveler's Guide to the Planets Episode 3 - Jupiter

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the third episode of the acclaimed documentary series “A Traveler’s Guide to the Planets.  In this episode we will tour the gas giant Jupiter and its system of moons.

Carl Sagan's Cosmos Travellers Tales

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the sixth episode of Carl Sagan’s highly acclaimed PBS documentary series Cosmos: Travellers Tales.

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. 

The Universe – Jupiter the Giant Planet

Planet Earth, The Great Red Spot and Planet Jupiter Size Comparison

Today on Far Future Horizons we will embark on an odyssey of over eight hundred million kilometers to a mini solar system of over 60 moons orbiting a giant gas planet over one thousand times larger than our own world.

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.

Universe: Beyond the Millennium ~ Alien Life

“At the start of a new millennium we're about to embark on the greatest adventure of all time. Five hundred million miles from Earth, a spacecraft will land on Jupiter's icy moon, Europa. It's mission, to search for alien life. As we reach out across the galaxy, our spacecraft will explore the most extreme environments to answer the ultimate question, are we alone?” ~ John Hurt, The Expanding Universe: Searching for Other Life Forms.

Today on Far Future Calling we join the search for Alien Life in this episode from the acclaimed documentary series "Universe: Beyond the Millennium” narrated by John Hurt.

Humankind has pondered since time immemorial whether or not we are alone in the Universe. Only within the last century or so has the technology come into existence that would allow for the serious scientific search for such extraterrestrials.

This documentary details some of the discoveries that have been made thus far that might suggest the possibility of extraterrestrial life, as well as the continuing efforts of scientists to make new discoveries along those lines.

Moons of the Solar System

Today on Far Future Horizons we present a fabulous documentary produced by Britain’s Open University concerning the natural satellites of our solar system. Join us as we take an exciting voyage to some of the most exotic moons in our solar system; each a unique and beautiful world in its own right.

How did the solar system form? Are we alone in the Universe? What are alien atmospheres made of? These questions can be answered by studying the solar system’s vast family of satellites.

This collection of videos looks at five of the most intriguing worlds that we’ve managed to visit over the last fifty years, including The Moon, Europa, Phobos, Deimos and Titan.

From the first human footsteps on another world to the most distant spacecraft landing in history, our neighbourhood of moons has always played a central role in our exploration of the planets.
