WELCOME TO EARTH

A Disney+ original series from National Geographic, ’Welcome to Earth,’ follows Will Smith on an extraordinary adventure around the world. Throughout the six-part limited series produced by filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, Will is guided by explorers on an awe-inspiring journey, getting up close and personal with some of the most thrilling spectacles on the planet.

NOWRUZ AND THE NIGHT SKY

Spring is here. And for 300 million people around the world, that means welcoming a new year by celebrating

Nowruz. It’s a moment to link past and present, and — according to National Geographic photographer, Babak

Tafreshi — what it means about our place in the universe.
