The Wildest Weather in the Universe, Slowly Explained for Sleep | Diamond Rain on Neptune

Tonight, drift slowly outward through the wildest weather in the universe: the coldest place on Earth, diamond dust glittering in the air, a lake where lightning flashes almost every night, rain falling on the Sun, blue sunsets on Mars, hailstones made of ammonia on Jupiter, rain falling from Saturn's rings, raindrops like snowflakes on Titan, diamond rain deep inside Uranus and Neptune, the fastest winds in the solar system, clouds of rubies and sapphires and a planet where it snows sunscreen. Narrated slowly over soft music, to help you fall asleep, and ending where it began, with rain on the window. Dim the lights, lower the volume, and let yourself drift.
