The Universe ~ Cosmic Collisions


 


Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting episode of the History Channel's acclaimed documentary series The Universe which explores Cosmic Collisions







Cosmic collisions. They are among the most violent and life altering phenomena in the universe. From fender benders to high velocity impacts, gravity is constantly moving everything around in space and so things are bound to collide.

The Universe ~ Liquid Universe

© 2000 Don Dixon We do not believe Jupiter has any solid surface (despite what you may have seen in the movies!). Instead, the "surface" is probably liquid molecular hydrogen under great pressure from the thick atmosphere. Perhaps it would look like this artist's concept!
Join us today on Far Future Horizons as we ply the exotic oceans of our Cosmos. 

On alien planets scalding iron rains from the sky. On distant moons, even at hundreds of degrees below zero, they slosh around in lakes of methane.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria (or The Pharos of Alexandria, Greek: ὁ Φάρος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας) was a tower built in the 3rd century BC (between 285 and 247 BC) on the island of Pharos in Alexandria, Egypt to serve as that port’s landmark, and later, its lighthouse.

When faced with impossible situations, our ancestors  didn't simply give up, they pursued the impossible. Join us today on Far Future Horizons for another exciting episode of Ancient Impossible.
