This episode starts with some exciting news for Rose before looking at the Red planet. One of our nearest neighbours, and a target for space exploration, Rose and Elliott look at how unlike the Earth Mars really is. Is Mars really as you expect it to be? As well as some of the features of the Martian environment, the duo look back at the history of Mars exploration and the potential future for human colonisation.
Note: this episode was due to be released last week but unfortunately family circumstances made that impossible.

Rose and Elliott look at the second planet in the solar system, the hot and toxic “twin” to Earth. What does Venus hide beneath its thick atmosphere, could it host life and how did it unlock the size of our solar system? And why does it smell so bad? The pair find the answers to these questions, and have a look at some of the future missions to one of our nearest neighbours.

Rose and Elliott look at what makes stars different from each other and how to classify them, as well as the work of the “Harvard computers” that made stellar classification possible. They look at stellar spectroscopy and black-body radiation, the colour of stars and find out just why it took so long to make the Harvard system of classifying stars. After all, how hard can it be?

Rose and Elliott dive into the Sun, from the core outwards. They look at where the Sun is headed in it’s old life and whether there are any mid-life crises on the horizon. As well as the difference between the radiative and convective zones and the photosphere and the chromosphere, they discover the surprising mystery lurking at the centre of our solar system: the coronal heating problem.
