Last week, seven earth-like planets were discovered orbiting a Red Dwarf star 39 light years away. Each one could be capable of supporting life.

SciShow News explains how evolution and antibiotics have teamed up to produce an ordinary germ that can now, sometimes, kill people. Also, our favorite piece of science equipment -- the Large Hadron Collider -- has big plans for this...

Physicists estimate that dark matter accounts for about twenty three percent of the known universe - the only problem is that no one really knows what it is...

Everyone loves a slow motion video of a dog shaking to dry off, but what is the science behind it?

Grumpy Professor Hank admits to being wrong about how everything is chemicals. But he now wants you to listen as he blows your mind with a new sweeping statement: everything (yes, really everything this time) is energy....

In this video Paul Andersen explains that the angular momentum of a system will be conserved as long as there is no net external torque. Both point objects and extended objects are covered along with several examples.

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, physicists have searched and searched for any hint of new particles. That search has been fruitless. Until, perhaps, now. Today on Space Time Journal Club we'll look at a paper that reports a...

Hank brings us news of the most sensitive digital camera in the universe, poised to help astronomers explain the mystery of why the universe is speeding up instead of slowing down as Einstein's theory of General Relativity would predict.

Scientists dissect the human scream for the first time, and also re-think what was thought to be the biggest dinosaur in the world.

Hank gives it to you straight about "anti-gravity technology" -- basically, it doesn't exist. But if you really want to hover, you have options!

It’s becoming harder and harder to categorize moons as moons.

The Planetary Protection Office is hiring and we've found a much easier way to study neutrinos.

The rumors are true! There's an Earth-like planet orbiting our neighboring star!

Primordial black holes may be lurking throughout our universe. How large are they, how many are out there and what would happen if they moved through our solar system?

Did you know Einstein never thought we’d find actual black holes in space? It took decades of research to show black holes are physically possible, and some of the scientists behind that research were honored this year with the Nobel...

A dwarf galaxy crashing through the Milky Way billions of years ago could have set off periods of star formation, and astronomers recently captured a rare flashing phenomenon that only shows up in the sky for a few days!

Last week we lost legendary scientist Stephen Hawking. To honor of one of the greatest legacies in cosmology, we wanted to celebrate and unpack some of his most famous findings.

In the early 1960s, Richard Feynman was quoted as saying that Earth's center should be a day or two younger than its surface. 50 years later, scientists re-did the math.

This video is about how Albert Einstein made a mistake when applying the Field Equations of General Relativity to cosmology (in particular, to a static, constant density universe), and solved the...

We've run, jumped, and stomped all over the world of Super Mario, but, where in the universe is Super Mario EXACTLY? It's virtual so it obviously DOESN'T exist but if it did, could Super Mario world be in our solar system? And what do...

Astronomers have finally observed what causes pulsating auroras, and our estimates of the mass of the Andromeda Galaxy have shrunk.

Can you make a black hole out of light? Learn about the strange theoretical object called the 'Kugelblitz'.

All the stars in a spiral galaxy rotate around a center -- but to astronomers, the speed that each star travels wasn't making sense. Why didn't stars slow down toward the edges as expected? Don Lincoln explains how a mysterious force...

SciShow Space reveals the discovery of a whole new kind of supernova, and the undead stars they leave behind.
