Naked Science: "Planet Storm"

CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTINGS FOR PROGRAM TIMES

"Planet Storm" tells the true story of a massive asteroid storm that bombarded our solar system 3.9 billion years ago, impacting Earth and creating thousands of impact craters—up to 1,300 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide—on the moon. Now, from the groundbreaking Apollo missions to the latest analysis of lunar meteorites, Naked Science reveals the chain of evidence that uncovered clues to the storm's existence. With a team of scientists, National Geographic Channel shows viewers what triggered this storm, how life on Earth survived, and whether a storm like this could occur again.
