The educational and entertainment program cycle «Mysteries of Space» explores the latest discoveries, hypotheses, and versions of scientists about our Universe. In exclusive interviews, Russian and foreign experts offer a new perspective on long-known topics—for example, whether aliens exist, what awaits humans on Mars, and whether it is possible to travel through time via black holes.
Thus, the program «Secrets of the Red Planet» is entirely devoted to modern research on Mars. According to scientists’ version, Mars actually resembles Earth, with its blue sky, gray-brown rocks, and yellow sand, but NASA persistently recolors the planet red in its images. The program answers the question of why they need this. Meanwhile, the episode «Star Killers» tells of the unique star «Alpha Centauri», which, according to scientists’ latest observations, is actively pulsating and may explode at any moment. If the explosion occurs, a second sun may appear in our sky, and abnormal heat will set in on Earth. The episode «Space Brides» tells of a more earthly problem—women in space and their confrontations with men. Why did Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya, already prepared for flight, leave the Russian cosmonaut corps in the autumn of 2004? Who are ghost cosmonauts? How did Yuri Gagarin really die? The answers to these and other questions can be found by watching the program cycle «Mysteries of Space» online.
