Earth From Space has given viewers a new perspective on all things centred around the planet and how rapidly it is changing.
And while the show has attracted quite the response on social media, what do you still need to know about the current series and why exactly everybody is talking about it? Find out below.
Earth From Space kicked off on April 17 on BBC One.
The programme lasts for an hour and has a total of four instalments for its current series.
It aired in the same time slot as MotherFatherSon on BBC2 and The Bay on ITV.
It also clashed in the time slot with American drama series Chimerica on Channel 4.
The show does what it says on the tin – it explores Earth from space.
Satellite cameras orbiting in space reveal stories of life on our planet from a new perspective.
It detects different colours and textures plus reveals just how fast things are changing.
The series sees cameras zooming in on different habitats to see what lives there, from the Okavango delta in Botswana to the ice-scapes of Lake Baikal in Siberia.
Earth From Space continues with episode 3 TONIGHT (May 1 2019).
From BBC’s official synopsis, the narrative is focused on how “colourful” our planet is.
It reads: “From space, Earth is a kaleidoscope. Turquoise plankton blooms trigger a feeding frenzy, China turns yellow with rapeseed flowers, and mysterious green light appear in the ocean.”
The episode, along with the final episode, will run for 58 minutes.
Catch it again on BBC iPlayer if you happen to miss Earth From Space when it airs on TV.

He said about the show: “This is our home as we’ve never seen it before.”
