William Shatner explores our earth, and beyond, in search of the universe’s most fascinating, strange and inexplicable mysteries. Each episode features contributions from scientists, historians, astronauts and other experts—each seeking to shed light on how the seemingly impossible actually can happen. Seeking answers to age-old questions that have mystified mankind for centuries. Things like, how was our earth born? Will we go back to the moon—or venture even farther? What dangers might lurk in the deep expanse of outer space? And perhaps the biggest of all—are we alone?
For centuries, we've been fascinated by our nearest planetary neighbor, Venus, and its shimmering appearance in our night sky. But this glowing yellow orb that's about the same size as our world is covered in massive volcanoes, poisonous clouds of acid rain, and a surface temperature hot enough to melt lead. Is Venus our evil twin--or a warning about what Earth will become in the future?

The blue marble we call Earth remains in large part a mystery to the 8 billion people who live on it. How did Earth come to exist, and what are the secrets of its survival? How long will humans be able to call it "home"?

As we make plans to travel beyond the Moon to new worlds, how are we preparing to become human extraterrestrials? Just how will we survive this trip into the unknown? Will we be able to thrive once we get to our next galactic destination? And what will we do if we make contact with intelligent life?

Unidentified objects, witnessed by military pilots... Extraterrestrial probes, flying through our solar system... And a potential alien home world that may be hidden in the darkness of space. Does the recent string of strange encounters and phenomena get us closer to answering the age old questions, are we alone in the universe? What tools are we using to hunt for signs of life in outer space? And is it possible that evidence of alien intelligence has actually reached planet Earth?
