  • 🌍 At a time when we're able to perceive the infinitely small, microscopic organisms such as microbes, mites or bacteria, what do we know about the giants that once trod the earth of our planet?
    The elephant, the rhinoceros, the giraffe, the brown bear or the blue whale are among the largest and fattest animals of our era. No matter how big or imposing, these animals have managed to survive in their environment and develop extraordinary adaptive skills, using their extraordinary size as an asset.
    It's incredible to think that the blue whale, the highest-ranking animal on the podium, can measure over 30 metres and weigh up to 170 tonnes. The only reason it is able to move despite such dizzying dimensions is that it evolves in an aquatic environment. The buoyancy of the water enables it to support its own weight, move around the ocean, feed and reproduce. On land, its organs and bones would crumble under its weight.
    Millions of years ago, even more impressive animals lived on our planet. Animals that, if they were still around today, would change the face of the Earth. These titans from another world have managed to survive for millions of years. They have carved out a place for themselves in the cycle of life and left their mark on the planet's history.
    Surprisingly, unlike the whale, they didn't all live in the water. Some walked the earth, others even tamed the sky!
    Who were these animals? What did they look like? How could their skeletons support so much weight? How did their morphology enable them to move around despite such extraordinary dimensions, whether in water, on land or even in the air? How did their metabolism enable them to survive? What is the largest animal of all time?

    💥 The Forgotten World of Prehistoric Giants:
    - Let's start by familiarizing ourselves with our new surroundings. We have a somewhat marshy landscape ahead of us, with plants such as Rhynia, Rellimia bushes and Leclercquia lycopods. In the distance are the tallest trees of this era. The one you see here is an Archaeopteris. It can reach a height of almost 40 meters. It could be related to our modern-day fir trees. Calm and serenity seem to reign. Everything seems peaceful.
    Its aerial virtuosity makes it a formidable predator, as it flies faster than most of its prey, and can suddenly change course, reverse or hover thanks to its four independently-moving wings.
    Our Meganeura doesn't come close to the 90 km/h top speed of our modern dragonflies, but it's almost 5 to 7 times bigger.
    This dragonfly has two pairs of wings. The larger of these two pairs can reach a wingspan of between 70 and 75 cm. To give you something of a comparison, the distance between its two wings is about the same as that between the two wingtips of the sharp-shinned hawk, a bird of prey specializing in the capture of birds, small mammals, lizards and frogs.
    Mosasaurs are one of the great marine reptiles of the Cretaceous period. Most members of this unusual family are quite exceptional in size. But the biggest of them all is Mosasaurus. At 18 meters long, it terrorized the world's seas.

  • 🌍 Have you ever wondered what the foundations of our reality are based on?
    What if I told you that the world around us is governed by mysterious particles and invisible dimensions?
    Would you believe me?
    Nothing could be further from the truth...
    Yet the nature of the forces and elements that shape our universe is unknown to us.
    Admittedly, scientific advances over the last few centuries have enabled us to understand in detail the events that unfold on a macroscopic scale.
    But when we venture onto smaller scales, it's as if we're entering a parallel reality whose workings escape us.
    In this world of the infinitely small, the laws of physics and relativity we know no longer apply.
    Instead, we find strange, sometimes invisible particles interacting in ways so mysterious that we find it hard to believe how they work.
    Quantum physics, string theory, supersymmetry, the uncertainty principle...
    So much vocabulary that attempts to describe the mechanisms of this invisible reality to make it easier to understand.

    💥Voyage vers l'Infiniment Petit:
    - Each discovery inevitably raises its own set of questions...
    In their quest to probe the microscopic world, scientists have nonetheless been able to venture deep into nature's smallest secrets.
    While a few decades ago we thought that atoms were the inseparable building blocks of matter, today we know that these elements are home to an incredible bestiary of particles.
    Quarks, gluons, Higgs bosons, neutrinos, photons...
    It's enough to make you dizzy!
    To say that these elements are minuscule is an understatement.
    To understand this, let's compare scales.
    Observations of the cosmos tell us that the diameter of the observable universe is around 93 billion light-years.
    This universe would include between 100 and 200 billion galaxies.
    In fact, our Milky Way is but a tiny drop of water in a cosmic ocean.
    Yet, from our perspective, its dimensions are inordinate: almost 53,000 light-years.
    That's enough to house between 200 and 400 billion stars, and probably more than 100 billion planets...
    Among these stars is our sun: nearly 700,000 km in radius.
    That's around 109 times the diameter of the Earth.
    Our beautiful blue planet, gigantic to our eyes, is in reality invisible to those of the cosmos.
    For if the solar system were a city twenty kilometers across, the Earth would be little more than a grape.
    And yet, nearly 8 billion human beings live on it.
    But then again, appearances are deceptive, as man is far from occupying all the space available on Earth.
    If we were to group together all the human beings currently living, they would fit on an area equivalent to the city of Los Angeles...
    So, compared to a modestly-sized terrestrial planet, man is a grain of sand.
    If this scale comparison gives you a slight headache, just wait for the next part.
    Because it's possible to go much further.
    Each human being, however microscopic compared to the cosmos, is made up of around 30,000 billion cells.
    And these tiny cells, observable only under the microscope, are themselves made up of 100,000 billion atoms!
    This figure varies greatly from cell to cell, but it's still completely excessive.
    Wait, we can go even further...
    If you look at the core of atoms, you'll be amazed to discover that they're 99.9%... empty!
    In other words, matter is theoretically made up of nothingness!
    It may sound crazy, but hidden in this nothingness are tiny elements of the quantum world that give life to the reality we know.
    And although we are made of atoms, their profound nature seems even more distant than the confines of the observable universe.
    So, the infinitely small conceals many mysteries.
    So get ready to travel to the heart of matter!
    Together, we'll try to unlock its secrets by literally looking deep inside ourselves...

    Observations of the cosmos tell us that the diameter of the observable universe is around 93 billion light-years.
    This universe would include between 100 and 200 billion galaxies.
    In fact, our Milky Way is but a tiny drop of water in a cosmic ocean.
    Yet, from our perspective, its dimensions are inordinate: almost 53,000 light-years.
    That's enough to house between 200 and 400 billion stars, and probably more than 100 billion planets...
    Among these stars is our sun: nearly 700,000 km in radius.
    That's around 109 times the diameter of the Earth.
    Our beautiful blue planet, gigantic to our eyes, is in reality invisible to those of the cosmos.
    For if the solar system were a city twenty kilometers across, the Earth would be little more than a grape.
    And yet, nearly 8 billion human beings live on it.
    But then again, appearances are deceptive, as man is far from occupying all the space available on Earth.
    If we were to group together all the human beings currently living, they would fit on an area equivalent to the city of Los Angeles...
    So, compared to a modestly-sized terrestrial planet, man is a grain of sand.
    If this scale comparison gives you a slight headache, just wait for the next part.
    Because it's possible to go much further.
    Each human being, however microscopic compared to the cosmos, is made up of around 30,000 billion cells.
    And these tiny cells, observable only under the microscope, are themselves made up of 100,000 billion atoms!
    This figure varies greatly from cell to cell, but it's still completely excessive.
    Wait, we can go even further...
    If you look at the core of atoms, you'll be amazed to discover that they're 99.9%... empty!
    In other words, matter is theoretically made up of nothingness!
    It may sound crazy, but hidden in this nothingness are tiny elements of the quantum world that give life to the reality we know.
    And although we are made of atoms, their profound nature seems even more distant than the confines of the observable universe.
    So, the infinitely small conceals many mysteries.
    So get ready to travel to the heart of matter!
    Together, we'll try to unlock its secrets by literally looking deep inside ourselves...

  • 🌍 Today, many extinct animals are more familiar to us than some species that are still alive. Among them are the dinosaurs. The diplodocus is more famous than the aardvark, and the tyrannosaurus more famous than the peramete. Dinosaurs are part of popular culture. For over 160 million years, these majestic creatures dominated the Earth, occupying most ecological niches and leaving little room for other species.

    On five occasions, the Earth was confronted with major upheavals that had a fundamental impact on its subsequent history. When they disappeared during the fifth mass extinction, the dinosaurs left an immeasurable void. But one man's misfortune is another man's gain, and this void enabled the evolution of mammals and birds, which are now highly diversified groups of animals. Without this extinction, dinosaurs would probably have continued to dominate life on Earth, and other animals would not have had the opportunity to make their mark.

    Mass extinctions change the rules of the game, redistributing the cards by condemning certain groups and giving new opportunities to others. When the dinosaurs disappeared, our distant ancestors survived.

    What did the Earth look like after the extinction of the dinosaurs?

    💥 How did life on Earth recover after the cataclysm that brought down the gigantic dinosaurs? :
    - A mass extinction is an event that resembles a relatively brief biological crisis on the scale of geological time. At least 75% of animal and plant species disappear from the face of the Earth. Over the last 500 million years, life on the planet has undergone five mass extinctions. Today, over 99% of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth have disappeared.

    The phenomenon of species extinction is no longer surprising. Species are deadly. Each of the great mass extinctions has played a role in the history of the living world, forcing it into new directions as decimated fauna and flora are forced to evolve.

    The Ordovician-Silurian extinction took place 444 million years ago. A geological event triggered an episode of glaciation. Considerable quantities of water became trapped in an ice cap three times the size of present-day Antarctica. This event led to the disappearance of 85% of all terrestrial species.

    The Devonian extinction began 383 million years ago. Probably due to a strong volcanic episode, pulses caused a sudden drop in oxygen levels in the oceans. 75% of species disappeared during this mass extinction.

    The third mass extinction, the Permian-Triassic, took place 252 million years ago. It was the worst catastrophe ever experienced by life on Earth. Over 90% of all species were killed. The destroyed forests will need more than 10 million years to recover.

    Around 200 million years ago, the Earth suffered the Triassic-Jurassic extinction. Geological events caused a warming of the Earth's surface and an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This was a further blow to life on Earth, which lost up to 80% of its terrestrial and marine species.

    The fifth and final mass extinction was the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, which caused the disappearance of the famous non-avian dinosaurs.

  • 🌍 Today, many extinct animals are more familiar to us than some species that are still alive. Among them are the dinosaurs. The diplodocus is more famous than the aardvark, and the tyrannosaurus more famous than the peramete. Dinosaurs are part of popular culture. For over 160 million years, these majestic creatures dominated the Earth, occupying most ecological niches and leaving little room for other species.

    On five occasions, the Earth was confronted with major upheavals that had a fundamental impact on its subsequent history. When they disappeared during the fifth mass extinction, the dinosaurs left an immeasurable void. But one man's misfortune is another man's gain, and this void enabled the evolution of mammals and birds, which are now highly diversified groups of animals. Without this extinction, dinosaurs would probably have continued to dominate life on Earth, and other animals would not have had the opportunity to make their mark.

    Mass extinctions change the rules of the game, redistributing the cards by condemning certain groups and giving new opportunities to others. When the dinosaurs disappeared, our distant ancestors survived.

    What did the Earth look like after the extinction of the dinosaurs?

    💥 How did life on Earth recover after the cataclysm that brought down the gigantic dinosaurs? :
    - A mass extinction is an event that resembles a relatively brief biological crisis on the scale of geological time. At least 75% of animal and plant species disappear from the face of the Earth. Over the last 500 million years, life on the planet has undergone five mass extinctions. Today, over 99% of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth have disappeared.

    The phenomenon of species extinction is no longer surprising. Species are deadly. Each of the great mass extinctions has played a role in the history of the living world, forcing it into new directions as decimated fauna and flora are forced to evolve.

    The Ordovician-Silurian extinction took place 444 million years ago. A geological event triggered an episode of glaciation. Considerable quantities of water became trapped in an ice cap three times the size of present-day Antarctica. This event led to the disappearance of 85% of all terrestrial species.

    The Devonian extinction began 383 million years ago. Probably due to a strong volcanic episode, pulses caused a sudden drop in oxygen levels in the oceans. 75% of species disappeared during this mass extinction.

    The third mass extinction, the Permian-Triassic, took place 252 million years ago. It was the worst catastrophe ever experienced by life on Earth. Over 90% of all species were killed. The destroyed forests will need more than 10 million years to recover.

    Around 200 million years ago, the Earth suffered the Triassic-Jurassic extinction. Geological events caused a warming of the Earth's surface and an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This was a further blow to life on Earth, which lost up to 80% of its terrestrial and marine species.

    The fifth and final mass extinction was the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, which caused the disappearance of the famous non-avian dinosaurs.

  • 🌍 What's the nearest habitable planet? Many of us on Earth are asking this question. The search for life on Mars, the nearest habitable planet to Earth, began in the 19th century and continues today with in situ exploration missions. Rovers are regularly sent to the Red Planet to collect samples of Martian soil that may give us clues to past or present life on Mars. However, no extraterrestrials have yet been found on Mars. The Red Planet is indeed in the Sun's habitable zone, but at its extreme limit, so it's very cold there, with an average temperature of -63°C, compared with 15°C on Earth!
    The discovery of the first exoplanet, 51 Pegasi b, on October 6, 1995, changed all that. Exoplanets are planets orbiting a star other than the Sun. To date, over 5,300 exoplanets have been discovered, according to the Encyclopedia of Extrasolar Planets! But not all exoplanets are habitable: some orbit very close to their star, while others are ice planets like Uranus or Neptune. And fewer than 200 of the exoplanets discovered are rocky, like Earth, the others being gaseous like Jupiter. The search for a habitable exoplanet has become one of the goals of astronomers, who study the characteristics of each exoplanet discovered using powerful telescopes in the hope of finding bio signatures, i.e. traces of life.

    💥Trip to the exoplanets of the Wolf 1061 star system:
    - The Wolf 1061 star system is located 13.8 light-years from our solar system. Between Earth and Wolf 1061, there's no void - quite the contrary. Contrary to popular belief, space is not empty. There's no air, but there are gases, dust, molecules and atoms. There are also numerous celestial objects: stars, exoplanets, satellites, comets, pulsars...
    There are thought to be around 30 stars between Earth and Wolf 1061. On our way, we'll come across a multitude of stars, some of which are the center of a planetary system. Wolf 1061 c isn't the closest exoplanet to Earth, but it's one of the few that seems most likely to harbor life.
    We'll be taking advantage of our journey to the Wolf 1061 star system to observe several exoplanets that astronomers have already studied in the hope of finding traces of extraterrestrial life. On our way, we'll come across several exoplanets that are already candidates for the title of the closest exoplanet to Earth where life exists. First stop: the Proxima Centauri planetary system!

    Let's continue our journey into the Universe to discover the closest exoplanets to Earth. Not far from GI411 b is the exoplanet Ross 128 b, located 11 light-years from our planet. Discovered in 2017, exoplanet Ross 128 b orbits a red dwarf, Ross 128, and was detected with the HARPS spectrograph at La Silla Observatory in Chile.
    This is the closest exoplanet to Earth that could potentially be inhabited, as Ross 168 is a rather quiet red dwarf. Its eruptions are less frequent and less violent than those of other red dwarfs, which would increase the chances of preserving Ross 128 b's atmosphere if it had one. If Ross 128 b contained liquid water, it would be far more conducive to the development of life than Proxima Centauri b, which is constantly bombarded by harmful X-rays and ultraviolet rays.

  • 🌍 What's the nearest habitable planet? Many of us on Earth are asking this question. The search for life on Mars, the nearest habitable planet to Earth, began in the 19th century and continues today with in situ exploration missions. Rovers are regularly sent to the Red Planet to collect samples of Martian soil that may give us clues to past or present life on Mars. However, no extraterrestrials have yet been found on Mars. The Red Planet is indeed in the Sun's habitable zone, but at its extreme limit, so it's very cold there, with an average temperature of -63°C, compared with 15°C on Earth!
    The discovery of the first exoplanet, 51 Pegasi b, on October 6, 1995, changed all that. Exoplanets are planets orbiting a star other than the Sun. To date, over 5,300 exoplanets have been discovered, according to the Encyclopedia of Extrasolar Planets! But not all exoplanets are habitable: some orbit very close to their star, while others are ice planets like Uranus or Neptune. And fewer than 200 of the exoplanets discovered are rocky, like Earth, the others being gaseous like Jupiter. The search for a habitable exoplanet has become one of the goals of astronomers, who study the characteristics of each exoplanet discovered using powerful telescopes in the hope of finding bio signatures, i.e. traces of life.

    💥Trip to the exoplanets of the Wolf 1061 star system:
    - The Wolf 1061 star system is located 13.8 light-years from our solar system. Between Earth and Wolf 1061, there's no void - quite the contrary. Contrary to popular belief, space is not empty. There's no air, but there are gases, dust, molecules and atoms. There are also numerous celestial objects: stars, exoplanets, satellites, comets, pulsars...
    There are thought to be around 30 stars between Earth and Wolf 1061. On our way, we'll come across a multitude of stars, some of which are the center of a planetary system. Wolf 1061 c isn't the closest exoplanet to Earth, but it's one of the few that seems most likely to harbor life.
    We'll be taking advantage of our journey to the Wolf 1061 star system to observe several exoplanets that astronomers have already studied in the hope of finding traces of extraterrestrial life. On our way, we'll come across several exoplanets that are already candidates for the title of the closest exoplanet to Earth where life exists. First stop: the Proxima Centauri planetary system!

    Let's continue our journey into the Universe to discover the closest exoplanets to Earth. Not far from GI411 b is the exoplanet Ross 128 b, located 11 light-years from our planet. Discovered in 2017, exoplanet Ross 128 b orbits a red dwarf, Ross 128, and was detected with the HARPS spectrograph at La Silla Observatory in Chile.
    This is the closest exoplanet to Earth that could potentially be inhabited, as Ross 168 is a rather quiet red dwarf. Its eruptions are less frequent and less violent than those of other red dwarfs, which would increase the chances of preserving Ross 128 b's atmosphere if it had one. If Ross 128 b contained liquid water, it would be far more conducive to the development of life than Proxima Centauri b, which is constantly bombarded by harmful X-rays and ultraviolet rays.
