Could there be intelligent life on other planets? This question has piqued imagination and curiosity for decades. Explore the answer with the Drake Equation -- a mathematical formula that calculates the possibility of undiscovered life.

The satellite launched in February, but in March, it malfunctioned, spun out of control, and broke into pieces. The mission was declared a failure. But! Before it failed, Hitomi managed a couple days' worth of observations.

SciShow Space explores new theories about the timing of the development of life on Earth, and elsewhere in the universe.

Join Caitlin Hoffmeister in this episode of SciShow Space News as we explore the universe!

How to teleport Schrödinger’s cat: this video presents the full quantum teleportation procedure, in which an arbitrary qubit (spin, etc) is teleported from Alice to Bob by way of a pair of particles entangled...

Solar tornadoes are not tornadoes, and scientists are studying a black hole with a telescope bigger than the earth!

Space technology gets applied in all sorts of ways down here on Earth, making us more comfortable, healthier, and even saving lives!

A trip into space produces physiological effects in human beings, but it can also change a person in a profound, psychological way.

We’ve discovered what appears to be the first known moon outside of the solar system and new models of Europa’s surface predict the presence of ice blades!

During the 2017 Project For Awesome livestream, I promised I'd make a tuatara video if we hit our fundraising goal, and I'm a man of my word! Little did I know I'd get to meet a tuatara and learn things about a 200 million year old...

Lots of global problems seem intractable, but there’s a formula for success that we can follow.

Honeybees are dying from parasites, pesticides, and poor nutrition, but we can help them in a number of ways, including by encouraging them to make a homemade antibiotic.

Hank explores the science behind the first kiss -- and all the kisses that come after it -- and also sets you straight about the vernal equinox, what it is, and why this year's is special!

A new report on climate change is pretty grim, but there is still a little hope.

We’ve been sitting on samples of the lunar surface for decades and, with better technology than when they were taken, we are opening them back up to take another look!

Developing new methods for survival in space is a constant and ever-evolving process, and a well known Earthly organism has the potential for multiple applications within space’s unforgiving environment!

Is there life on Venus? If there is, it would have to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen! New evidence means the possibility of life there is in question, but it could also mean a few other things.

If salty water is constantly spilling into the world’s oceans, does that mean they are getting saltier by the day?

In the early 1960s, Richard Feynman was quoted as saying that Earth's center should be a day or two younger than its surface. 50 years later, scientists re-did the math.

New research looks into how snow falls on Mars, and scientists have been looking into other things falling from the sky onto planets: diamonds!

This video is about the orbital mechanics of why it's so hard to crash into the sun - the energy it takes to get there is astoundingly high, compared with leaving the solar system.

This video explores the concept of measuring the hottest place on Earth, challenging the assumption that Death Valley holds the record. By discussing the limitations of traditional weather stations and highlighting the use of satellite...

Still wondering why leaves are green and not purple or even black? CHLOROPHYLL! It's how leaves work.

Caitlin Hofmeister gives you the latest news from around the universe, including Kepler's latest exoplanet discovery, an upcoming solar eclipse, and a breathtaking image from Hubble.
