Narrated by Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong'o, Worlds Beyond Earth tells the story of the surprisingly dynamic nature of the worlds that share our solar system and the unique conditions that make life on Earth possible. 

Worlds Beyond Earth features immersive visualizations, groundbreaking space missions, and breathtaking depictions of our solar system. 

In stunningly detailed scenes drawn from real data—including unparalleled visualizations of the alien landscape of Mars and a simulation of the evolution of Saturn’s rings—Worlds Beyond Earth takes viewers on a remarkable journey around our solar neighborhood to explore whether there really is no place like home.

Visualization of a swirling disk of orange light
Four and a half billion years ago, gravity caused a giant interstellar cloud of gas, ice, and dust to collapse in on itself. Our Sun was forged in the center, surrounded by a swirling disk of debris.

Visualization of Earth's technosphere surrounded by a protective magnetic field
Earth's magnetic field forms a shield that deflects solar wind, allowing life to flourish and protecting our Technosphere, the array of human-made satellites that support our civilization and feed us information about our planet.
