A conversation with James Cockrell, Project Manager for Small Spacecrafts.

In this video, we explore the weather in space, focusing on the sun and its impact on Earth. We learn about solar wind, auroras, solar storms, and their effects on our communication systems and astronauts in space. The video highlights...

Solar winds are super fast, nuclear winds emitted by the sun. Were these winds to reach Earth's surface, they would cause a lot of damage. Find out what makes solar winds so dangerous andwWhat protects Earth from this weather.

Robert Lin, the late director of the Space Sciences Laboratory, discusses how NASA's MAVEN spacecraft will study the interaction of the Martian atmosphere with the solar wind. MAVEN's findings will reveal how Mars lost its early...

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there.

Learn about the science behind nature's most spectacular light show. Caused by the sun, solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic shield and reacts with gas molecules creating the visible aurora.

Upon viewing the Magnets and Electromagnets video series, students will be able to do the following: Define a magnet as a material that attracts iron and materials containing iron. Explain that magnets have a north pole and a south pole...

So we learned about the formation of the Milky Way, which is the galaxy that we live in. But where in that galaxy do we live? We live on a planet that orbits a star that we simply refer to as "The Sun", so where is that, and when did our...

This video provides an overview of the Sun, explaining its role as a star and the largest object in our solar system. It discusses how the Sun formed, its layers, and its atmosphere. The video also includes review questions to reinforce...

This show explores the fascinating features of the universe, the different types of galaxies in our solar system and the position of our solar system in the Milky Way Galaxy. Other terminology includes: constellations, spiral galaxy,...

The sun is nearing its 11-year solar maximum, which could create spectacular light shows in the night sky. CBC's Nancy Carlson talks with Matt Melnyk, a photographer, pilot and northern lights watcher.

This animation shows a magnetospheric sunstorm, during which the reconnection causes energy to be rapidly released along the field lines causing the auroras to brighten

Collisions with charged particles in the solar wind cause gas atoms and molecules to emit light. Aurorae typically occur around the poles as charged particles are directed there by planets' magnetic fields. Imaged in ultraviolet light by...
