URANUS — The Tilted Ice Giant | Rings, Moons & Diamond Rain | Relaxing Space Documentary for Sleep

Drift away on a slow, peaceful journey to Uranus, the pale blue-green ice giant that rolls around the Sun on its side. In this relaxing space documentary, we follow William and Caroline Herschel on the night a new planet was found, float through forty-two-year seasons and the coldest air in the solar system, sink down to a hidden ocean where it may rain diamonds, and visit the dark rings and Shakespearean moons: Miranda with its giant cliff, bright Ariel, dark Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. A gentle British narrator and soft ambient music make this the perfect background for sleep, rest, study or quiet relaxation.
