This episode enters a world where cars can drive themselves, a world where we are ...
修建在南极布伦特冰架上的英国最尖端科学考察站哈利六号（Halley VI）遇到麻烦，巨大冰裂缝距离科考站只有6公里。本片讲述为价值近3千万英镑的哈利搬家的艰难工程。 Last year, Natalie Hewit documented the British Antarctic Survey’s attempt to drag Halley VI, its 981-tonne research station, 23km to a safer location as the Brunt ice shelf it stands on begins to break up.

由众多科学家和工程师研发接近30年的“卡西尼号”太空探测器在经过长达近7年的漫长太空旅行之后，顺利进入环绕土星转动的轨道，开始对土星大气、光环和卫星进行历时4年的科学考察。卡西尼号”还携带了探测土星最大卫星土卫六的探测器，取名为“惠更斯号”。在探测任务20年后，卡西尼号土星探测器燃料将尽，科学家控制其向土星坠毁，在此之后，卡西尼号与地球失去联系，它进入土星大气层燃烧成为土星的一部分。在卡西尼号毁灭的最后一秒钟，它都坚守使命，往地球传输数据，最后才壮烈冲向大气层。

BBC气象员彼得?吉布斯冲动地回到了他曾经生活和工作过的英国南极调查局哈雷研究站。当时，哈雷研究站在臭氧空洞的发现中起到了重要作用，而今天，它仍然在诸多领域作出了许多重要的发现，例如：人类生活如何受到太阳活动的影响、星际旅行研究、以及人类导致的气候变化所产生的威胁等。彼得此行还肩负着救援的使命，由于冰山移动，哈雷研究站可能会随着巨大的冰山飘向远方。
水是生命之源，科学家用望远镜和探测器寻找地球之外的水源，从地球环境模拟生态演变，发现太阳系的多颗行星和卫星都有汪洋迹象，并可能有生命存活至今。我们苦苦寻找的外星生命，也许就近在身边，这结论挺叫人兴奋的。
This is the story of how our solar system will be transformed by the aging sun before coming to a spectacular end in about eight billion years. Astronomers can peer into the far future to predict how it will happen by analysing distant galaxies, stars and even planets in their final moments. In this film, Horizon brings these predictions to life in a peaceful midwestern town th...
