Magnetic fields fill our universe, but here at home we have a very special one that nature uses in a myriad of ways. And further away, other magnetic fields give us fascinating glimpses into the nature of the universe!

Earth didn't have water when it formed, but it does now! How did it get wet?

Earth’s northern and southern lights are some of the most magical sights on our planet. But they’re not unique to Earth, and aside from being beautiful, auroras can also give us unusual insights into these other worlds.

Our Atmosphere is Escaping

SciShow Space explains how different experts define our the boundaries of our solar system and why it's way more complicated (and interesting) than it sounds.

In this final segment on the four fundamental forces of physics, Hank tackles the magnetic force, the second of the two ways in which electromagnetism is apparent in the universe

Though our Sun is something we can count on to rise and set each day, it also comes with some phenomena that can catch us by surprise: solar winds. To better predict when these winds will travel all the way to Earth, we sent the Parker...

Voyager 1 may be out of our solar system (and 40+ years old) but we're still getting plenty of new data from our interstellar space probe.

There is an invisible shell of radiation surrounding our planet that can wipe out satellites and could endanger future explorers. One possible solution to this problem? Good, old-fashioned radio waves.

Voyager 2 is the second object to leave our solar system, which means we now have twice as much information about its edges! And scientists have found a record-breaking black hole.

Where does our solar system end, and interstellar space begin, and what is it like there? Satellites and probes like IBEX and Voyager 1 & 2 help us get a better look at our special corner of the galaxy.

There are renewable energy sources here on Earth, but to meet our clean energy needs we should consider every possible option, including the Moon.

Did you know the moon has a tail? No one did, until 1998, and we've been trying to figure it out ever since.

Today on Crash Course Astronomy, Phil explains comets. Comets are chunks of ice and rock that orbit the Sun. When they get near the Sun the ice turns into gas, forming the long tail, and also releases dust that forms a different tail....

This colorful video program takes a look at the many different types of forces. Magnetic, electric, and gravitational forces are all explored. Special emphasis highlights how these forces impact our everyday lives. This video correlates...

NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission will study "magnetic reconnection and its effects in Earth's atmosphere," according to the Goddard Space Flight Center....

On Sept. 8, 2004, NASA's Genesis spacecraft crash-landed in Utah after its parachutes failed to deploy.



Genesis was NASA's first sample-return mission since the Apollo program, and the first to bring back samples from...

Comet Nishimura came into NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft's field of view. The solar wind was interacting with the tail of the comet in the footage.

The video describes the aftermath of NASA's Genesis project, where a capsule containing particles from the solar wind crashed into the Utah desert. Despite the damage, scientists have managed to salvage some intact disks, providing...

The sounds of Saturn, or rather the radio and plasma waves that Cassini picked up in Saturn's orbit.

We need to better understand the Sun. Here's why NASA (Parker Solar Probe) and ESA (Solar Orbiter) have both sent probes to the Sun in the last few years.

What Parker Solar Probe Heard Around the Sun.

The spectacular discoveries NASA's MESSENGER made about Mercury.
