Blue Planet

From 200 miles above Earth's surface, we see how natural forces - volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our world and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the Earth. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.

Share with space shuttle astronauts the delights of zero gravity while working, eating and sleeping in orbit around the Earth. Float as never before over the towering Andes, the boot of Italy, Egypt and the Nile. Witness firsthand a tension-filled satellite capture and repair, and the historic first spacewalk by an American woman.
