0:00:00 - Blizzards: Blizzards affect mankind every winter, across every continent. Combining ice cold temperatures, snow and extreme wind, this mother of all storms is a living hell that has the power to paralyse entire countries. From the prairies of Canada to Northern China, this episode explores the destructive and unpredictable nature of blizzards.

0:51:28 - Earthquakes: More than a hundred earthquakes occur each year. They can annihilate a city in just a few seconds. Tokyo, Istanbul, Los Angeles… Some of the biggest cities in the world are under threat. Fortunately, our understanding of earthquakes is becoming more and more accurate. Almost everywhere on the surface of the globe, a vast network of GPS trackers have been installed on mountains as on great plains. Researchers from all over the world are now focusing on one single objective: Anticipating the exact moment when the Earth will move.

1:43:09 - Lightning: Thunder, lightning bolts. Forces of nature experienced by all of us. Storms are a natural phenomenon that take place in a specific set of conditions. Lightning can take different forms and not all forms will necessarily strike the ground. It can cover kilometres in the sky and pass from one cloud to another. We examine how electric fields are formed inside clouds and how lightning determines its target on the ground.

2:34:95 - Tornadoes: They’re huge funnels of wind fallen from the sky, travelling at great speeds, sweeping up everything in their path. One of the most affected countries is the USA, which experiences approximately 1,200 tornadoes every year. With wind speeds inside their vortex reaching up to 500 km per hour and travelling at the speed of a high-speed train, tornadoes are capable of destroying everything in their path. But how do they start? How can we predict them and minimise their destruction?

3:26:13 - Mudslides: Tons of mud and earth hurtle down the mountainside. A phenomenon so powerful, it can transport huge blocks of stone. A mudslide is the liquid form of a landslide. Over the past 10 years, mudslides have claimed over 50,000 lives. How can we explain these incredibly powerful phenomena and what are the scientific forces at work?

A revolution in space technology is unfolding. New players in the launch industry are radically cutting the cost of access to space and our understanding of the universe is growing exponentially thanks to space-based research. This time, we explore facts about the Sun, space telescopes, what's beyond the solar system, space communication, the Earth, and the future of space.

The scientific community is convinced that within the next decades, we will finally unveil one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, and find life beyond Earth. We can’t know yet if the discovery of life will happen in our solar system, or in another remote place in the universe, but it’s clear that the next generation will witness a finding that could challenge our whole understanding of the universe.

The first episode explores these findings, and uncovers the future missions planned to Mars, plus Jupiter and Saturn’s Moons, explaining their intentions of determining life beyond our Solar System. The second episode recaps the discoveries beyond the frontiers of our solar system. There are hundreds of billions of planetary systems similar to ours – relative atmosphere, size and geological compositions to Earth.
