The Cassini-Huygens mission arrived at Saturn in 2004, beginning an epic thirteen-year tour of the ringed planet and its many moons. Cassini and its companion probe, Huygens, were an international collaboration between NASA and...

This video explains how black lights work and their various applications. Black lights emit long wave ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye but causes certain objects, like phosphors, to glow.

NASA will send astronaut dummies around the moon in the Orion spacecraft for the uncrewed Artemis I mission scheduled for next year, Space.com reports. <br/>

When scientists at the top secret 'Manhattan project' wanted to discover how radioactive bomb materials could affect the human body – they secretly injected terminally ill patients with uranium to find out.

Are we alone in the universe? This is a fundamental question that intrigues us all.



On September 21, 2016, NASA scientists and stakeholders came together at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for...

Flares happen when the powerful magnetic fields in and around the sun reconnect. They're usually associated with active regions, often seen as sun spots, where the magnetic fields are strongest. Flares are classified according to...

Dr. Stan Love, NASA astronaut and all-around smart guy, flew to the International Space Station in 2008 and has worked on a number of flight analog programs to understand how to conduct deep-space missions. Love explores the challenges...

From atomic explosions occurring at the height of the Cold War to North Korea allegedly flexing its nuclear muscles' nuclear disasters are big news. However, many are shrouded in mystery, cover-ups and downright lies. Join Alltime 10s as...

This live-action video program is about cryosphere. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the term through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics...

Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial phenomena that occur when the sun, moon and Earth align in a way that either the moon casts a shadow on Earth or the latter casts a shadow on the moon. So what are the similarities and differences...

All objects emit infrared radiation and the characteristics of the infrared radiation are primarily dependent on the temperature of the object. One of the unique features of the new Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP)...

August 1972, as NASA scientist Ian Richardson remembers it, was hot. In Surrey, England, where he grew up, the fields were brown and dry, and people tried to stay out of the Sun, indoors and televisions on. But for several...

A colder than usual winter in the southern hemisphere fed a deep and larger than average hole that persisted for a longer period than usual.

The Radiation Belt Storm Probe mission (RBSP) will explore the Van Allen Radiation Belts in the Earth's magnetosphere. The charge particles in these regions can be hazardous to both spacecraft and astronauts. Project Scientist David...

Summer 2019, NASA's Space Environment Testbeds, or SET, will launch on its mission to study how to better protect satellites in space. SET studies the very nature of space itself -- which isn't completely...

The universe is microwaving itself. A mystery signal discovered in the 1960s led to a Nobel prize. In this video, Dianna explores one of the most mysterious discoveries in physics - a constant microwave signal that seemed to be coming...

Asteroids on a collision course with Earth could be rerouted by spray painting them with a thin layer of paint, a Texas A&M University professor says. Dave Hyland, an aerospace and physics professor at Texas A&M, says an asteroid...

GOES is a series of weather satellites providing continuous delivery of real time data helping meteorologists predict weather on Earth with great accuracy. The GOES satellites also look at the Sun and send critical data to space...

Black widow spiders and their Australian cousins, known as redbacks, are notorious for an unsettling tendency to kill and devour their male partners. Astronomers have noted similar behavior among two rare breeds of binary...

On March 16th, increased levels of radiation were detected at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Four hundred mSv equate to 40 chest scans. At the gate of the plant, only 1.9mSv were detected on Wednesday.

The 3 simple ingredients of sun, air and water lead to every type of weather on Earth. The atmosphere is constantly trying to balance heat from the sun with water vapor and air to create a dynamic planet. The unique properties of the...
