The voice reading it is synthetic.* ### 0:00 Where we have landed on the Moon: The first soft landing anyone can find The first soft landing anyone can find. It was not the first. The Soviet Luna 9 landed softly four months earlier, on 3 February 1966, but NASA's table says the place published for it is probably at least 10 km out, direction unknown. Surveyor 1 shut off its engines 3.4 m up and dropped the rest of the way. ### 0:38 The first people The first people. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stayed 21 hours and 36 minutes. Their whole walk covered about 250 metres, and neither went more than about 100 m from the lander. Michael Collins waited for them in orbit. ### 0:59 A visit to an older robot A visit to an older robot. On their second walk they went over to Surveyor 3 and brought about 10 kg of it home to study, its TV camera included. That camera is on show at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington. ### 1:19 Seventy-five hours, then a long quiet Seventy-five hours, then a long quiet. Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt, the first scientist to walk on the Moon, stayed 75 hours and covered 30 km with their rover. After them robots landed three more times, and then nothing landed softly on the Moon for 37 years. ### 1:43 The side that never faces us The side that never faces us. From here the Earth is always below the horizon, so the Moon itself blocks any radio link home. China first put a relay satellite, Queqiao, out beyond the Moon, and the lander spoke to Earth through it. Its rover, Yutu 2, was still driving four years later. ### 2:08 Near the south pole Near the south pole. India's first try, Chandrayaan-2, carried a lander also called Vikram, and it crashed in September 2019 about 110 km from here. This one was built to work for one lunar day, about 14 Earth days, and was put to sleep on 4 September 2023. ### 2:34 An eclipse, seen from the Moon An eclipse, seen from the Moon. It carried ten NASA instruments. On 14 March 2025 it watched the Earth pass in front of the Sun, a total eclipse seen from the Moon. Two days later it filmed the sunset, looking for a glow over the horizon that Gene Cernan saw on Apollo 17. ### 2:59 Twenty-eight landings, nineteen on this map Twenty-eight landings, nineteen on this map. NASA's table of what lies on the Moon, last updated in August 2025, lists 28 landings, six of them with people aboard. This map marks 19 of them, two by where their rovers stopped. Luna 9, the first of all, is not one: nobody knows exactly where it is. ### 3:28 Out past Jupiter, to the farthest thing we sent: Io, the moon Jupiter never lets rest Io, the moon Jupiter never lets rest. Io goes round Jupiter every 42 hours, pulled one way by the planet and the other by two moons further out, in time with it. All that kneading has to go somewhere, and it comes out of hundreds of volcanoes. ### 3:54 Europa, and the two ships on their way Europa, and the two ships on their way. Under that ice is twice as much water as every ocean on Earth put together. Europa Clipper reaches Jupiter in April 2030 to fly past here 49 times and ask whether anything could live down there; Europe's JUICE arrives in 2031 and ends up circling Ganymede. ### 4:24 Saturn, and a ring ten metres thick Saturn, and a ring ten metres thick. The rings reach eighty thousand kilometres out from the equator and in places are ten metres from top to bottom. They are almost all water ice. Cassini circled here for thirteen years and finished by flying into the planet in September 2017. ### 4:48 Enceladus, spraying its ocean into space Enceladus, spraying its ocean into space. Cassini found the jets in 2005, coming off the south pole at four hundred metres a second, and flew straight through them. They carry water, salt, silica and more organic material than anyone expected, and they have not stopped: the dust keeps one of Saturn's outer rings supplied. ### 5:19 Triton, going the wrong way round Triton, going the wrong way round. One spacecraft has ever visited Neptune: Voyager 2, on 25 August 1989. Five hours after passing the planet it flew by Triton, forty thousand kilometres up, and found a surface at minus 235 degrees with geysers going off on it. ### 5:49 Pluto and Charon, going round each other Pluto and Charon, going round each other. New Horizons crossed this pair on 14 July 2015, nine and a half years out from Earth. It found mountains of water ice, and beside them a plain of nitrogen ice that is still slowly turning over. Sending the pictures home took until October 2016. ### 6:16 Voyager 1, and everything behind it Voyager 1, and everything behind it. It passed Jupiter in March 1979 and Saturn in November 1980, and it has been leaving ever since, more than 170 times the Earth's distance from the Sun. In 1990 it turned round and photographed the planets it had left. Earth came out 0.12 of a pixel wide. ## How it was made - The narration is a synthetic voice (Kokoro-82M, bf_emma); the words are ours. - Positions are computed for 10 October 2026, 18:00 UTC. - The landers and spacecraft are 3D models placed at their measured positions, drawn far larger than life. ## Credits - Positions of the Sun, the Moon and the planets: astronomy-engine (MIT).

The voice reading it is synthetic.* ### 0:00 Travel to exoplanets: Planets around other stars Planets around other stars. More than six thousand planets around other stars, in the copy of NASA's catalogue this map carries, each drawn as a mark at its star. Most were found by the dip in a star's light as a planet crosses in front of it, the rest mostly by the wobble a planet gives its star. ### 0:32 The nearest one The nearest one. Proxima b goes round the nearest star to the Sun, four light-years away, once every eleven days. Nobody has seen it: it was found by the wobble it gives its star. ### 0:52 Seven worlds round a small red star Seven worlds round a small red star. TRAPPIST-1 is a cool red star forty light-years away, a little bigger than Jupiter. Seven planets about the size of the Earth go round it, and all seven were found as they crossed in front of it. ### 1:12 TRAPPIST-1 e TRAPPIST-1 e. A year here lasts six days. It is nine tenths as wide as the Earth and seven tenths as heavy, and at its closest its neighbour d would look as wide in its sky as the Moon is in ours. ### 1:35 TRAPPIST-1 b TRAPPIST-1 b. The innermost, 1.7 million kilometres from its star, over thirty times closer than Mercury is to the Sun. Its year is a day and a half, and it is a tenth wider than the Earth. ### 1:57 TRAPPIST-1 c TRAPPIST-1 c. The second out, round its star in just under two and a half days. Like b it is a little wider than the Earth and about a third heavier. ### 2:13 TRAPPIST-1 d TRAPPIST-1 d. Four days a year, and the smallest but one: four fifths of the Earth's width and less than two fifths of its mass. ### 2:28 TRAPPIST-1 f TRAPPIST-1 f. Nine days a year, and the nearest of the seven to the Earth's own size and mass, a few per cent over on both. ### 2:45 TRAPPIST-1 h TRAPPIST-1 h. The outermost and the smallest, three quarters of the Earth's width. A year here is nineteen days, and b goes round twelve times in one of them. ### 3:04 All of it inside Mercury's orbit All of it inside Mercury's orbit. The dashed ring is the size of Mercury's orbit round our Sun, drawn here for scale. It is six times wider than the orbit of h: every one of these worlds is closer to its star than Mercury is to ours. ### 3:29 To the edge of what we know: The Sun, from one light-year The Sun, from one light-year. From here the whole Solar System is smaller than a pixel. Light from the Sun takes a year to reach this spot; Voyager 1, the fastest thing we have sent out of the Solar System, would take about eighteen thousand. ### 3:53 Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri. The nearest star to the Sun, a dim red one an eighth of the Sun's mass. It has at least one planet. Every star you can see with your eyes at night is farther away than this one. ### 4:12 Sirius Sirius. The brightest star in our sky, eight and a half light-years out and twenty-five times as bright as the Sun. The light reaching your eye tonight left it eight and a half years ago. ### 4:30 The Pleiades The Pleiades. Over a thousand young stars, a hundred million years old, about four hundred and twenty-five light-years away. Their light left when Shakespeare was alive. ### 4:49 The centre of the galaxy The centre of the galaxy. Twenty-seven thousand light-years from home, a black hole of four million Suns that the whole Milky Way turns around. The disc, bar and arms drawn around you are a model built from measurements; the stars are the measured part. ### 5:13 The Milky Way The Milky Way. Our galaxy, about ninety thousand light-years across, seen from sixty thousand light-years above its disc, a view nobody has had. The shape is an illustration of what has been measured. ### 5:32 Andromeda Andromeda. The nearest big galaxy, two and a half million light-years away and coming our way. Its light left when the first humans were learning to use tools. ## How it was made - The narration is a synthetic voice (Kokoro-82M, bf_emma); the words are ours. - Positions are computed for 10 October 2026, 18:00 UTC. - Nobody has photographed these planets: every generated planet surface is labelled "Artist's impression" on screen. - The Milky Way's shape is an illustration of what has been measured. ## Credits - Stars: the HYG star database.
