In addition, viewers can also watch directly through the NASA+ website. It is worth mentioning thatNASA+ is completely free and no subscription is required.

IT Home noted that NASA also announced new programs that will be launched soon, including the documentary "Planetary Defenders" focusing on asteroid exploration, the series "Our Alien Earth" exploring extreme environments, and the documentary "An Ocean in Bloom" focusing on marine pollution. In addition, viewers will also see new episodes of the popular series "Other Worlds", "The Color of Space" and "Space Out".
