The Universe (Alien Planets)

The second season of the amazing series The Universe begins this Tuesday. The new episode is called “Alien Planets.” Here’s a preview…

Have planet hunters finally found proof of other Earthlike worlds? Astronomers have now discovered over two hundred alien worlds, beyond our solar system, that were unknown just a decade ago. Discover planets that rage with fiery hurricanes and bizarre planets covered by water so dense that it forms a kind of hot ice. Among these weird worlds, Earth actually seems like the oddball with the right conditions for life.

With the announcement last week of a fifth planet orbiting a specific star, this is a timely episode. So please “check your local listings” for a show time near you. You won’t be disappointed.
