Our weather is extraordinary, from bowling ball sized hailstones to twisting tornadoes, but even the most extreme weather witnessed on Earth cannot compare to the weather on the other planets in our solar system, or even planets millions of light-years away, across the universe. Visiting state of the art laboratories and using amazing CGI images, this documentary will recreate the weather on these planets and illustrate worlds that not even the most creative science fiction writers could imagine.
