About the show: "Oasis in Space"

For over two decades, Oasis in Space has remained one of Spitz’s most popular and evergreen productions, taking the audience on a rich and fascinating journey through our celestial neighborhood as we look for one of organic life’s key ingredients – liquid water. Why is Venus considered the hottest planet in the Solar System? Is Saturn the only Solar planet with rings? And what can possibly hide under the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon, Europa? These and more questions are answered as we visit the Sun in its cradle, the Earth as it used to be, the neighboring planets as they are today, and maybe even a yet undiscovered world that awaits our visit in the future.
