We invite audiences into the unfolding story of exoplanet discovery, revealing how astronomers have turned faint points of light into entire solar systems—rich with strange worlds, some potentially habitable, others entirely alien. Journey to groundbreaking discoveries like K2-18b and Kepler-186f, uncover the science that makes their detection possible, and imagine the bold technologies that may one day carry us to a new Earth among the stars.

Dark Universe brings audiences to the cutting edge of cosmic exploration to reveal the breakthroughs that have led astronomers to confront two great cosmic mysteries: dark matter and dark energy.

The history of flight is a story of innovation and discovery. The use of planes in both wartime and peacetime is woven into the history of the 20th century. Today, we use amazing jets to fly around the globe. Our ultimate goal -- the stars -- is now part of humanity's ancient visions of flight.
