About The Planets
In conjunction with the first total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. in 99 years, Science Channel celebrates by presenting a definitive series on Earth's closest neighbors in the solar system, The Planets. Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino hosts, guiding viewers through eight, hourlong episodes that detail Venus, Mars, the newly discovered Planet 9, Exoplanets and more. A best-selling author, Massimino is a veteran of two missions in the Hubble Space Telescope and four space walks. He's also credited as the first person to tweet from space.
Renamed The Planets and Beyond with Season 2, Astronaut Mike Massimino continues the exploration of the planets in our solar system and beyond. From the Gas Giants to mysterious exo-planets light years away, this is the definitive series about alien worlds.
