The planets of our solar system have experienced epic catastrophes throughout their history, caused by both external and internal forces alike. In this stunning special, voyage back in time to investigate the violent phenomena that profoundly shaped the planets, including Earth itself. Witness the events that transformed Mars into a barren, hostile desert; the disaster that changed Venus from a temperate climate into a hellish wasteland; the massive impact that blew Mercury’s mantle, turning it into a planetary core; a colossal disturbance that rearranged the orbits of the gas giants; titanic impacts on our largest planet, Jupiter; and how a lost moon may the explain the rings of Saturn.
