In which Hank explains how and why phycisists think that the univers has no edge.

Sometimes, the acceptance of a lack of knowledge is far more valuable than conjecture. That being said, let’s talk about what we do know, because regardless, it is very weird.

The Aurora has fascinated and intrigued people for ages. It is a display of light in Earth’s magnetosphere caused by high energy particles arriving to the planet in the solar wind. The Aurora is seen in both hemispheres. In the northern...

The moment you think about astronauts, what comes to your mind would probably be a picture of an astronaut in a white spacesuit experiencing weightlessness in the vast expanse of space. Or perhaps you don't imagine a white astronaut. You...

Multiverse theory suggests that our universe, which consists of billions and billions of planets, stars and galaxies and extends out tens of billions of light-years, may not be the only universe that exists. There could be another...

The video discusses two theories that try to explain the expansion and evolution of the universe - the steady state theory and the Big Bang theory. The video covers the concept of redshift of light exhibited by galaxies moving away from...

Learn how to eliminate star trails in this quick astrophotography tutorial. In this video I cover the "500 Rule" and "NPF Rule," two ways to eliminate star trailing that can creep up in your photos. Link to spreadsheet with pixel...
