Imagine a flaming crater, wider than a football field, burning in the middle of a desert for over 50 years. It’s a real place, a hellmouth on Earth. But the most terrifying thing about it isn't the fire you can see, but the invisible gas it's been leaking.This is the incredible story of the Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenistan, better known to the world as the "Door to Hell." We journey to this bizarre environmental accident to uncover its mysterious origins and ask the big question: after decades of burning, is the fire finally going out? New satellite data suggests a dramatic change is underway.But the story doesn't stop there. The Door to Hell is the most spectacular example of a massive methane leak, a problem happening invisibly all over our planet. We zoom out from this flaming pit to explore the revolutionary science of greenhouse gas detection. You'll learn how cutting-edge satellites like TROPOMI and GHGSat are acting as our planet's detectives, hunting for methane emissions from space—from landfills and energy fields to the melting Arctic permafrost.This episode connects a stunning, unexplained mystery with the most important climate change story of our time. The Door to Hell isn't just a tourist attraction; it's a burning warning for our planet.Ready to journey to one of the world's strangest places and uncover a crucial story about our future?
