What's your favourite celestial story? 🪐

So Saturn was our saviour by reigning in Jupiter and Jupiter ends up as our protector by hoovering up all the dangerous garbage rock, nice to have big brothers.
-
This is one of the most epic space documentaries I've ever seen the animations, musical score, and storytelling all combine to make it truly special. Absolutely breathtaking.
-
The BBC do the best documentaries.
-
Before watching it, I thought this was a regular space documentary about eight planets in our solar system. But you guys proved me wrong. This is one of the best space documentaries that I've seen. It's amazing that it's free.
-
Shout out to the camera crew that went ahead of all the satellites to catch footage of them passing by each planet. I appreciate you.❤
-
My favourite part of this doco is at 49:04. Her enthusiasm for describing Saturn’s rings is captivating.
-
For anyone who r going to watch this, I suggest u watch this with headphones or surround sound systems. The Sound effects and music are the masterpieces by themselves! Goosebump guaranteed! 🤯

Each planet in our solar system is a wonder of its own, showcasing the incredible diversity and beauty of the cosmos. From the majestic rings of Saturn to the fiery storms on Jupiter, the wonders of our solar system never cease to amaze.
-
I don't know why but this whole documentary the way it describes the planets is as if they were gods above our celestial planes, fighting amongst one another, casting asteroids, shaping our environment and saving us from destruction... Non the less great documentary!
-
The animation and presentation of this is absolutely incredible. Kudos
-
I love how mysterious space is, I wish I could be around 1,000 years from now to see how far we've progressed

3:19 I really struggled to get through this section. I’m only 29. I think about my own mortality WAY more than probably most of my peers. I know I won’t be around to see the end of it all… but it makes me simultaneously greatly appreciative and grateful, yet exceedingly depressed. Look at what we’ve done to our planet. And the way humans treat each other. And the way we treat “lesser” species. It makes me wonder what the point of it all is. It makes me sad. And scared.

Oh my god!!! A new episode, a full episode, Zachary Quinto narrating and the best visuals I've seen in such a documentary. I am happy, I want to find more of these but have had no luck so far.
-
When a media giant like the BBC is involved in covering wonderful topics like astronomy, then imagination is brought to life. The sound effects and the narrative are quite on point. I love good work and this is one of such. Keep it up.

This is so calming watching in bed late at night.. I just passed my CDCII exam in addictions counseling tonight! Blessings from NP, Alaska🫶

38:57 made me feel like crying out of gratitude towards mother Earth
-
As a lover of nature I'm deeply overwhelmed by this celestial story
-
I saw this special on PBS a few years ago and it literally changed how I look at our solar system. I had never been so interested in it before until I watched it. The Planets really did change my outlook and- I am so eager to learn more about our system now! After watching it, I tried to watch other shows on other channels about our solar system AND THEY DID NOT COMPARE. The music, interviews, graphics and narration on this specific series IS TOP NOTCH. Thank you PBS/BBC for showing it!

We need more documentaries like this one. Spectacular!
