Naked Science
Earth has an evil twin. Venus. It is shrouded in a lethal atmosphere of carbon dioxide and acid rain. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead and the pressure high enough to crush a nuclear submarine.
Naked Science
The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of rock and iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and it still orbits happily around the sun.

Space: The New Frontier: Next Stop Mars
Mars has fired our imagination for thousands of years. The tantilizing possibility of life has made it the most inviting planet in our solar system. It is the only other place that man may one day call home.
Space: The New Frontier: The Planet Makers
From the beginnings of our solar system 4.5 billions years ago, there remain many clues to reveal its evolution. Remnant debris, asteroids, and comets are what's left of the building blocks to our celestial neighborhood.
