NOVA (1974)

Episode Overview

Traditionally, our solar system is seen as a tidy arrangement of eight planets, each with their own moons orbiting in harmony. However, a deeper exploration reveals that this neat picture hides a myriad of anomalies. Unruly worlds, found in the spaces between and beyond the established planets, indicate that our celestial environment is much more complex than previously imagined. From the meteorites striking Earth to a moon with a reverse orbit and a deceptive presence in the asteroid belt, these wandering worlds challenge and expand our understanding of the solar system.
