A clear, Friday night in Ontario, Canada. A flaming fireball lights up the night sky as it streaks to Earth. It could carry with it secrets about the origins of our Solar System or evidence of life on other planets. But in order to study it, scientists first need to find it. At the University of Western Ontario, planetary scientists capture the entire event using a sophisticated network of specialized cameras, radar and listening equipment aimed at the heavens. This event may be the best documented meteorite fall in history. Now, scientists plot a search area and mount a team to hunt for it. The race is on, to find Earths latest visitor.

Channel: NGC Channel

Episode Details: Season 9 Episode 16

Episode Name: Ancient Sea Monsters

Preview:

In July 2008, paleontologists Nadia Frobisch, Jorg Frobisch, and Lars Schmitz unearthed the nearly complete fossilized remains of a 35 foot, 240 million year old Ichthyosaur in Nevada’s Augusta mountains. The teeth of this Ichthyosaur were diamond shaped, with sharp cutting edges and unlike any other ever found. Scientists instantly knew this creature would have been the top predator of the oceans in its time. Now, the investigation begins into this unique creature as scientists attempt to understand where it fits in the evolutionary history of the first sea reptiles. In Chicago, the painstaking task begins of removing the bones of this sharp-tooth Ichthyosaur from the solid rock tomb which encases it. Meanwhile, in Nevada, a team of paleontologists search the terrain for more fossils, hoping to uncover more clues that may help explain the evolution of this prehistoric predator. Ultimately, in the lab and in the field scientists are looking to explain how a species which originally came from land transformed over millions of years into a purely aquatic creature.

Episode Name: City Under The Sea

Preview:

The oceans cover 70 percent of our planet. Although science fiction writers and ordinary mortals have long dreamed of life under the sea, no human has ever lived there permanently. But with the planet becoming increasingly populated, can we afford to leave such a vast space unoccupied? What if we gave ourselves 10 years to create an undersea colony where 100 families could live? How would we do it? Where would we go? In this program we develop a step-by-step approach for setting up such an undersea colony. We meet experts who believe such a bold undertaking is possible and are already developing the technology that could make it a reality.
