Nova

Season 46 (2019)
episode 15 - The Planets: Jupiter

Very interesting.
What I found really interesting is how the presentation could be a metaphor of the planet acting metaphorically as god. It is presented as a destroyer of early solar system development, but responsible for Earth being hospitable to life and Saturn (god of time) pulled Jupiter back to its orbit. Jupiter and Saturn were the first planets to form. Jupiter is responsible for dislodging and maneuvering asteroids towards the inner planets. It is portrayed as a protector of the Earth, pulling comets and asteroids into the planet.
Did the makers of the show intend this metaphor, consciously or unconsciously? I don't know, and I don't really care (today). It is interesting by itself. The metaphor is just a metaphor.

Season 46 (2019)
episode 16 - The Planets: Saturn

Excellent. It covers what was found by Voyager and Cassini. Where Jupiter seemed to make its connection with the viewer using facts and subtle metaphors, Saturn brought known facts, and at the end a bit of the emotion the scientist felt with Cassini's destruction. There was a fair amount of time devoted to the moons.
