Jupiter ist der größte Planet des Sonnensystems: Die Erde würde etwa 1.000 Mal in den Riesenplaneten passen.

How much more is there to the Universe than meets the eye? In this episode, we join the scientists who hunt for our hidden cosmos. In New Mexico, radio astronomers probe the cold and seemingly empty void of space to uncover vast clouds of hidden matter called intergalactic plasma. But astronomers now realize that our universe has a 'dark side' - a second kind of matter and a mysterious 'energy' that together make up most of the universe. We join teams in the UK, Italy and the United States hunting for so called dark matter and dark energy. We go behind the scenes at ...

The solar system and its planets seem like a familiar place. Yet scientists now think they've detected something huge lurking in the far reaches of the system we call home. Could it be that a missing, giant ninth planet orbits our sun in the dark reaches of space? We'll meet the astronomers hunting for this hypothetical world. Scientists who are only now beginning to understand how such a massive planet could have ended up so far away from the Sun - way beyond where science predicts planets can form. We join teams in the UK, Germany and the United States who are ...
