Witness the dramatic collisions that shaped the planets and moons!

How did our solar system originate? What chain of events led to its creation? Just as detectives look for traces of evidence to solve a mystery, astronomers analyze the evidence that points to the formation of the Sun and planets. In particular, they study the influence that impacts and collisions had on the worlds of the solar system. The most dramatic evidence for this collisional history of solar system evolution are the impact craters found on almost all the bodies in the solar system, including Earth. These surface scars tell us the formation history of planets, moons, and rings was violent. Yet today, we live in a relatively stable solar system, made possible by the shattering collisions that shaped our worlds.

This program gives us a unique look at the formation of the solar system by tracing the role that collisions played throughout its history. Beginning with the condensation of the initial cloud of gas and cosmic dust, we explore the history of planetary formation and the mechanism of accretion that played an important role in shaping the worlds of the solar system.

What keeps Galaxies together? What are the building blocks of the Universe? What makes the Universe look the way it looks today? Researchers all around the world try to answer these questions. We know today that approximately a quarter of the Universe is filled with a mysterious glue: Dark Matter. We know that it is out there. But we have no idea what it is made out of.

This fulldome planetarium show takes you on the biggest quest of contemporary astrophysics. You will see why we know that Dark Matter exists, and how this search is one of the most challenging and exciting searches science has to offer. Join the scientists on their hunt for Dark Matter with experiments in space and deep underground. Will they be able to solve the Dark Matter Mystery?

DARK is a fulldome movie that explains and explores the nature of dark matter, the missing 80% of the mass of the Universe.

The search for dark matter is the most pressing astrophysical problem of our time—the solution to which will help us understand why the Universe is as it is, where it came from, and how it has evolved over billions of years—the unimaginable depths of deep time, of which a human life is but a flickering instant. But in that instant, we can grasp its immensity and, through science, we can attempt to understand it.

The movie is presented by Dr Alan Duffy, a brilliant young astronomer from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) at the University of Western Australia—who creates simulations of dark matter evolution inside supercomputers. Alan introduces us to the idea of dark matter, why astronomers think it exists, and explains why radio astronomy is so well-suited to its discovery.

We explore why the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Telescope, currently under construction in remote Western Australia, will be so important in this scientific quest. But this is only the beginning.

We journey through completely immersive visualisations of dark matter evolution calculated upon some of the world’s fastest supercomputers—cosmological visions on a truly vast scale, in which galaxies themselves are but points of light, distributed across far larger intergalactic structures of Dark Matter. These visualisations, developed by Paul Bourke, demonstrate the cutting-edge of contemporary supercomputer visualisation of massive scientific datasets and astrophysical simulation.

Imagine Earth were a distant place you once called home but could never visit again. What would you remember most about the planet, and how would you describe it to your grandchildren?

Set on the surface of the Moon in the year 2081, a grandfather and granddaughter watch a solar eclipse from scenic cliffs overlooking their moon colony. Conversation leads to contrasts between the moon, the only home the granddaughter knows, and the Earth, where the grandfather has spent most of his life.

As they watch the Moon's shadow move across Earth, the grandfather tells stories of crashing asteroids, erupting volcanoes, roaring dinosaurs, electrifying lightning and booming thunder. Each experience begins with a telescope view of the dynamic Earth in stark contrast with the unchanging lunar landscape.

Earth’s Wild Ride is like many tales shared by grandparents over the centuries, except "the old country" is really another planet, always visible from the moon base, but totally unlike the granddaughter's world. While learning about eclipses, the ice age, Earth's water cycle and differences between the Earth and Moon, the audience is taken on a roller-coaster-like ride through canyons of raging rivers and hot flowing lava. Adventure and appreciation for home fill this 20-minute journey back to the Earth.

Over a hundred planets and moons of all sizes orbit the sun, yet only Earth has intelligent life—or perhaps any life at all. What are the required conditions to foster life? Solar energy, a protective atmosphere, liquid water—but maybe much more. The record of Earth's past shows long-term stability, punctuated by moving continents, periods of rising and falling oceans and ice ages followed by global warming. What combination of environmental variation and stability is required for life to begin and to become intelligent?

Based on the genetic diversity in human DNA around the globe, all modern humans can be traced to an ancestral source population in East Africa. The East African Rift Valley is a unique environment for the discovery of ancient hominid remains. Here, moving faults have exposed sediments of ancient lakes and rivers, and the precious fossils they conceal. Lucy lived here 3.2 million years ago at a time of changing climate with more seasonal variation and of savannahs replacing rainforests. The embodiment of early hominids, Lucy was about the height and weight of a modern ten-year-old girl and was fully bipedal. By standing upright, she could look over the grassland, cover longer distances, spot predators, and regulate her body temperature more efficiently.

Following Lucy came hominids with more human behaviors: stone tool making, scavenging, meat eating, hunting and mastering fire. The larger brains needed for these tasks resulted in an extended childhood, which required more complex social groups and the development of language.

Lucy’s Cradle, the Birth of Wonder chronicles these developments along the East African Rift Valley and then follows the spread of humans around the globe. From the obelisks of Axum to mountaintop observatories, humans have searched for a relationship with the heavens. Modern astronomers are continuing a magnificent journey of human vision that began over 3 million years ago when a young female hominid peered over the grassland of East Africa and saw the distant horizon beyond her fingertips.

Hundreds of engineers, scientists, and technicians spent nearly a decade constructing the Parker Solar Probe to send it into the Sun’s atmosphere where it will study how the solar wind is created. The solar wind is a gas that streams off from the Sun, strong enough to strip away a planet’s atmosphere. Scientists currently do not understand how that gas is accelerated away from the Sun. Parker Solar Probe will be able to answer these questions by physically going to the spot where we think the solar wind is created and watching it happen. To do this, the Parker Solar Probe has to go into the outer layers of the Sun, six times closer than Mercury. At this point, the spacecraft will be going 430,000 miles per hour and shielded from temperatures of over 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Weather and geological activity erase Earth’s earliest records of how the planet formed, so this information needs to come from elsewhere. Fifty years ago, the Apollo astronauts brought back 840 pounds of moon rocks, pebbles, sand, and dust from six different landing sites. These rocks tell us that the Moon formed from the Earth: billions of years ago, Earth was likely hit by a body the size of Mars, and the Moon formed out of the resulting debris. The chemical composition of the Moon rocks has also taught us about how the Earth itself formed, with the heavier elements sinking down to the planet’s core and the lighter elements floating on the top to form the crust.

It’s been 50 years since NASA last built a human spacecraft. The Orion spacecraft follows in Apollo’s footsteps, but with technology upgrades that allow it to support up to six crew members for three weeks. Astronauts will use Orion to conduct a lunar flyby in 2023. Subsequent missions will also be used to construct a lunar space station, termed the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway. The Gateway will be used for both manned and robotic exploration of the Moon and extraction of resources, such as mining lunar water ice which can be used to make rocket fuel.

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, is currently looking all over the sky at 200,000 nearby stars, searching for new planets. It does this by measuring how a star’s brightness changes over time. A planet that travels in front of its star will block out the star’s light, which TESS will measure as a dimming. This method can also tell us about the planet’s size, orbit, and even a bit about its atmosphere.

By looking at the universe in infrared light, astronomers are able to see objects that are otherwise invisible. However, this infrared light gets absorbed by water vapor low in Earth's atmosphere.To solve this problem, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a modified Boeing 747 designed to carry an infrared telescope high above Earth's surface. SOFIA is also known for the Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program, where groups of high school teachers are brought onto the flight to see the teamwork and process involved in scientific research. They then take this unique experience back to their classrooms.

How can we use the light from distant stars to search for potentially habitable exoplanets? In this short film, we explore how researchers are using the Hubble Space Telescope's Measurements of the Ultraviolet Spectral Characteristics of Low-mass Exoplanetary Systems (MUSCLES) Survey to study properties of red dwarf stars and how their intense x-ray and ultraviolet flares may affect the chemistry of planets' atmospheres. Differentiating the stars that may lead to false positive detections of biomarkers will help future space telescopes such as the James Webb Telescope to know which stars are more promising to search for habitable worlds.

Many of these bands have gone on to become the new ruling class of rock ‘n’ roll in the years, and decades, that followed." – AOL Radio
