Wonders of the Solar System — S01E01 — Empire of the Sun

00:00:06 We live on a world of wonders.

00:02:31 on this shore and you can see the sunrise on the eastern shore.

00:04:41 where you can see the shadows of three moons on the surface,

00:06:28 means we're living in exactly the right place

00:09:09 It spins so slowly that sunrise to sunrise lasts for 176 Earth days.

00:11:15 In direct sunlight, the water temperature begins to rise.

00:13:27 And that's why I love physics.

00:16:02 So, in these clouds, the clumps of hydrogen and dust

00:18:32 one of the great rivers of the world,

00:21:06 that takes out pretty much all of the light

00:23:10 It's a puzzle that led one man to look away from the sun

00:25:00 You see that when the sun goes up, the river goes up.

00:27:00 Of all the stars in the universe,

00:28:46 which nourishes, well, pretty much all life on Earth.

00:32:20 'The sun's face is now completely shrouded by the moon.

00:34:40 You know if you were to go out into space close to the Earth

00:37:32 Over time, this energy builds up stretching the tail,

00:39:58 Yeah, that's a spacecraft in orbit around the planet, yes, going from pole to pole.

00:43:04 Jupiter's magnetic field is the largest and most powerful in the solar system.

00:46:04 'around 15 hours to arrive, traveling at the speed of light.'

00:48:28 We then meet the Kuiper belt objects of which Pluto, the ex-planet, is a member.

00:51:24 But that's what astronomers are trying to do

00:54:21 tools in the whole of astronomy, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
