Earth from Space: Series 1: Colourful Planet

Colourful Planet

BBC One - Earth from Space, Series 1, Colourful Planet

Cameras in space reveal remarkable stories behind Earth’s most intriguing colours.

From space, Earth is a kaleidoscope. Turquoise plankton blooms trigger a feeding frenzy, China turns yellow with rapeseed flowers, and mysterious green lights appear in the ocean.

We think of the Earth as a blue planet, but satellite cameras reveal it to be a kaleidoscope. The astonishing colours of the aurora are towering vertical streaks, hundreds of kilometres high, phytoplankton blooms turn the ocean into works of art, triggering a feeding frenzy, and for a few weeks a year China's Yunnan province is carpeted in yellow as millions of rapeseed flowers bloom.  

This is our home, as we’ve never seen it before.
