Blue Planet provides viewers with an overview of how water shapes our planet and nearly every
aspect of our lives. Using data sets from a variety of sources, including NOAA and NASA, the movie
presents water as the driver of Earth's dynamic systems, the source of all life on the planet, and
it underscores just how rare and precious Earth's fresh water resource is. Blue Planet is a seven

Blue Planet was produced by the Science Museum of Minnesota in collaboration with the American Museum
of Natural History and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
