NASA scientists don't often learn that their spacecraft is at risk of crashing into another satellite. But when Julie McEnery, the project scientist for NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, checked her email on March 29,...

Hubble has seen galaxies at the edge of the visible universe. It has unlocked a cosmos so vast and filled with wonder that it boggles the mind. The Hubble Telescope has learned how galaxies merge, and found the powerful...

If you're strange enough to hits cats with pendulums, you're strange enough to throw frisbees at the skating rink. As you do this, you realize it's a great time to practice your physics, since you know about inelastic collisions. How...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a spooky new image staring out from the depths of the cosmos. The new image reveals the twin galaxies AM 2026-424 — a pair of interacting galaxies that may foreshadow our Milky...

A new video miniseries explores the intricate world of operating the Hubble Space Telescope.

In Hubble – Eye in the Sky, viewers get an inside look at the challenges of operating the telescope, along with an...

Review of the topics of Linear Momentum and Impulse covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum.

Most of Earth's vital elements for life mostly likely came from a planetary collision that also created the moon more than 4.4 billion years ago.

In this video, students learn how to predict possible collisions by writing and solving a system of nonlinear equations using graphs of quadratic equations. The lesson covers the basics of quadratic equations, including circles,...

When you take a shot on a pool table or tackle someone in a football game, you're participating in a collision. But the two events we just mentioned are totally different kinds of collisions! We have to learn the varieties and what they...

O-type stars are among the most massive and hottest known, pounding their surroundings with intense ultraviolet light and powerful outflows called stellar winds. NASA's Swift and ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatories took part in a...

The Large Underground Xenon Detector is a two-phase liquid xenon detector designed to pick up dark matter particles. The Large Underground Xenon detector, or LUX, is located about a mile underground. Its outer tank is filled with...

Yes, yes, we've all heard the classic jokes surrounding the name of this planet. But grow up! If we are going to explore the cosmos we don't have time for scatological humor! Now, let's take a look at Uranus, the seventh planet from the...

An important review highlighting differences between the equations for Conservation of Momentum, Impact Force and Impulse.

This video explains the early technology of coax-based Ethernet. This clip is from the chapter "Ethernet Basics" of the series "CompTIA Network+ Certification N10-007: The Total Course".In this section, you will explore the Ethernet and...

Many scientists believe that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized planet, called Theia, struck Earth around 4.5 billion years ago.

The European Space Agency’s space observatory Gaia may have found an explanation for the warped shape of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is bent into an S shape. <br/>

Organized sports are good for keeping kids active, but some parents worry about injuries like concussion, particularly with contact sports like football, soccer, and ice hockey. Most research about brain injuries in sports looks at...

What does our planet look like from space? Most are familiar with the beloved images of the blue marble or pale blue dot -- Earth from 18,000 and 3.7 billion miles away, respectively. But closer to home, within the...
