Året er 2000, og jorden er fuldstændig lagt øde. Hver dyr eller planter har overlevet. Men i et rumskib findes et drivhus med nogle af universets sidste planter fra jorden. Freeman er botaniker, og han vil gøre alt, for at planterne overlever - ALT.
Piloten, Rick Janssen (Sam Worthington), er udvalgt til et militært eksperiment for at skabe et menneske, som kan overleve det hårde klima på Saturns måne, Titan. Eksperimentet er en succes og giver Rick superkræfter, men skaber også livsfarlige bivirkninger der truer Rick og hans familie,og måske endda hele menneskeheden.
As viable water is depleted on Earth, a mission is sent to Saturn's moon Titan to retrieve sustainable H2O reserves from its alien inhabitants. But just as the humans acquire the precious resource, they are attacked by Titan rebels, who don't trust that the Earthlings will leave in peace.
Vi er på en af Saturns måner, hvor en lille bemandet operation sørger for at producere mad til Jordens sultne befolkning. Et par og udgør hele besætningen på denne fjerne rumstation. Men så dukker der pludselig en morderisk psykopat op med planer om at overtage kontrol med stationen og bygge en dræberrobot!
The captivating tales of the people and events behind one of humanity's greatest achievements in exploration: NASA's Voyager mission.
In 1976, a drifting star named Gorath is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. Although it is smaller than Earth, its enormous mass is enough to destroy the planet totally. A mission sent to observe Gorath is destroyed after the ship is drawn into the star, with a later mission barely escaping the same fate. However, Astronaut Tatsuma Kanai is left in a catatonic state due to his near death experience. Unable to destroy the invading star, Earth's scientists undertake a desperate plan to build giant rockets at the South Pole to move the planet out of Gorath's path before it is too late.
After NASA picks up a trio of mysterious signals from within our own solar system, astronaut Roger Nelson is dispatched on a multi-year solo mission aboard the Magellan spacecraft to investigate the sources.
In the future Saturn's moon of Titan houses a prison where Earth's worst criminals are kept awaiting their return to Earth for trial and execution. One of those criminals, Python Diamond, is being flown back to Earth, escorted by five members of the military police. Upon their return to Earth, they find that a cataclysmic nuclear war has reduced the world to a near-lifeless husk. Searching for survivors and any clue as to the cause of the destruction leads the six to a warehouse bunker housing scientists who constitute Earth's last remaining hope for the future. Unfortunately, their landing spacecraft drew the attention of one of the gangs that roam the ruined countryside in search of food and resources, leading them straight to the carefully hidden and well-provisioned shelter. The gang lays siege to the warehouse, fighting their way inside in a bloody battle that takes lives on both sides.
To help visualize the dramatic final chapter in Cassini's remarkable story, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory produced this short film that features beautiful computer-generated animation, thoughtful narration and a rousing score. Producers at JPL worked with filmmaker Erik Wernquist, known for his 2014 short film "Wanderers," to create a stirring finale video befitting one of NASA's most successful missions of exploration.
After decades of amazing discoveries, spacecraft Cassini embarks on its final - and most daring - mission: a dive below Saturn's rings.
Before the joint NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission, humanity only knew what had been learned, decades earlier, with the previous limited, rapid "fly-by" Pioneer and Voyager missions. Cassini-Huygens spent more than 13 years in wildly varied orbits around Saturn, allowing the spacecraft to pass near many of its moons, as well as execute a soft-landing of its Huygens lander on the moon Titan. By mission end, it accumulated a mountain of imagery and scientific data that will continue to be studied for years to come. This film is a testament to the amazing efforts of the scientists who planned and executed the mission. It combines breathtaking images, movies, and a variety of animations to take the viewer into Saturn's complex system of rings and moons, as well as stepping viewers through some of the more exciting scientific discoveries made over the course of the elaborately complex mission.
Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco explains what it takes to look for life beyond Earth, and what conditions are required for life to exist. Porco argues that Saturn’s moon Enceladus—with its plumes of water vapor spewing into space, confirmed organic materials, and evidence of hydrothermal vents at the bottom of its liquid ocean—is the most promising place to look. Could Enceladus be the key to proving once and for all that life is not unique to Earth? What would it mean—both scientifically and spiritually—if we found evidence of a true second genesis right here in our own galactic back yard?
An anomalous planetary event which occurs once every 10 million years is approaching in a few short days. A projection of photons from the planet Saturn will magnify its image as a massive hologram against the Earth's atmosphere. The days leading up to the event cause Dorian Phoenix and Cora Cadence to sense something much stranger happening. This artistic indie drama unfolds in a very unique and imaginative way and asks us to question the nature of reality.
NASA's biggest spacecraft, Cassini, plunges into Saturn in the final act of a 20-year mission showcasing the planet like never before. An incredible first full look at the Saturn mission with a spotlight on the team that dreamed to explore the planet deeper than ever before.
