The four planets closest to the sun, called the rocky planets, were born from the same material in the same era. Only on Earth do we find the unique conditions for life as we know it. But why only here? Were Earth’s neighbors always so extreme? And is there somewhere else in the solar system life might flourish?

It was not season 19 it was season 17 I already had season 17 and 16 will not order from that company again –
It’s amazing what’s out there
NASA is doing a great job and help explore what if and makes your mind think about the possibilities about other planets

A wonderful series.
Arrived today, Monday July 1. New.I had watched one production – about Saturn – at my mother’s house in Boulder. Now I have the whole set on DVD. We want to see what they have to say the development of Venus, Earth and Mars.

Great program. Informative, visually stunning, great presentation.
I recommend this over the similarly named Blu-ray from National Geographic. The presentation here is much less annoying, more oriented towards adults. Great content, great real images AND great animated images, great explanations. I suppose my only gripe is that when any scientist is featured, explaining their work and their discoveries, that person’s face is shown in close-up detail. On a big TV, well…that’s a bigger, more well-lighted human head than you’re ever gonna see in real life. Each speaker dominates your living room, and stares DIRECTLY at you while they’re talking–how do they even film that? It’s like they are truly speaking to a camera. And with their huge blazing face right up front. It’s a little unnerving. Producers, take heed! You don’t have to show the tiny hairs on a person’s forehead, just because you have the technology to do so. But don’t let that stop you. I’ve re-watched it a couple times already. This is an excellent Blu-ray–easily the best space program I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Worth having on disc, for sure.

One of those ‘gotta have’ series
PBS always has some amazing series, and this one was near the top of the list. It goes through the major planets, including how they were created and the amazing facts that they are even now revealing to us. And the production graphics are exemplary! Also, a great learning series for our grandchildren.

Indepth look at our solar system…
As an amateur astronomer and all around science/history student (enthusiastic) this DVD collection provides basic information for the newest students to space exploration to former collegiate astronomy students.Voyager I & II just keep going and going

For every science fan
Top notch in blu ray. Zachary Quinto perfect narrator. Wish more PBS Nova programs in blu ray.

Interesting and informative—however two minor quibbles
Not too bad an exposition of the planets. Good graphics and interesting narration.However two quibbles:1) A rather dopey, treacly song at the beginning of each episode. Some guy wailing non-rhyming lyrics that has something to do with the planets.2) The annoying tendency to suddenly switch to “talking heads”. You’re engrossed in great vistas and animations of planets and their planetscapes. When suddenly you get a full face shot of some scientist emoting. I appreciate the added information that these planetary scientists add to the narration. But do we really need to interrupt the flow of the program to actually see them facing the camera and talking? Maybe it was something that these scientists insisted on for appearing in the documentary. “You’ve got to SHOW me talking!” I found it distracting and annoying interruption.

Excellent show , wonderful narration by Zach Quinto, amazing CGI . This show is just fantastic, explains how our solar system came about.

We loved the dvds on this subject. It was exciting, sad, tense, everything. We learned so much watching it. I bought it because Jupiter is my planet, and wanted to see what Jupiter was all about. Plus there is other planets on the discs. It is so amazing to see what is going on up there, watching all of the movement of everything in space one almost thinks that each rock or planet or moon is programmed. You have to see this everyone. You will never forget it. I am going to see if there are more dvds with the other planets on it.

I needed to upgrade my information packages on astronomical research. This DVD appears to do just that. It is great!

This is one of the best documentary series I’ve seen. It’s one of those programs that you learn more each time you watch it, and Zachary Quinto is perfect in narration.
