Explore the most extreme and dangerous forces in the universe in this marathon of The Universe.

From 6,000-mile-per-hour winds on distant planets and sulfuric acid rain on Venus to Jupiter’s centuries-old Great Red Spot, cosmic rays, solar storms, and extinction-level asteroid impacts, scientists reveal how violent space can really be. Discover bizarre weather on Neptune, Mars, Titan, and other worlds, and see how storms beyond Earth dwarf even the most powerful hurricanes and tornadoes on our planet.

The marathon also explores the forces that connect Earth to the cosmos, including auroras, solar wind, meteor showers, ultraviolet radiation, comets, and asteroids. Learn how some of these phenomena may have helped create the conditions for life—while others have the power to cause catastrophic destruction.

Could another asteroid one day threaten Earth? What creates the universe’s most violent storms? And how extreme can weather become on worlds far beyond our own?
