Was There Life On Mars And Other Mysteries Of The Solar System

Editor's Take

A relaxed tour of the solar system's puzzles, with Mars and the question of past life at its centre. Lighter in tone than a hard-science lecture, it suits an easy evening watch that still leaves you with real questions to chew on.

This feature-length 4K documentary explores the mysteries of the solar system, asking whether life once existed on Mars. Presented in a lighthearted style, it marvels at the planets and astral bodies that surround us, from the red planet to the far reaches of our cosmic neighbourhood. Spark makes big questions about space approachable and fun. It is an enjoyable tour of the wonders on our doorstep. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
