In the middle of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo: the most remote location on Earth. This super isolated spot is home to a graveyard filled not with human remains, but hundreds of broken up spacecraft and satellites. And after more...

For years, geologists have been searching for an explanation for two strange blobs of Earth's mantle that are denser than the rest. It turns out, they may not be original parts of Earth at all.

More than a decade after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, its operators are dumping once-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. Is that OK?<br/>

Figuring out the age of a blinking speck in the sky is a difficult feat, especially if considering how many types of stars there are. This is where a Hertzsprung-Russell meets a gyrochronologist.

If you’ve been distracted looking at the amazing photos The James Webb Space Telescope has taken, not to worry. Here are three other stellar stories from the last year of space science!

When we picture the first tetrapods, or land vertebrates, crawling out of the ocean, we probably imagine they need legs. But evolution also had to bestow another important adaptation before they could leave the water: blinking!

Hunting for rogue planets is like hunting for an invisible needle in a haystack. But we're getting a much clearer view thanks to gravitational microlensing surveys. And it looks like there are a LOT more of them out there than we thought.

This week on SciShow News, toxic waste from an abandoned mine turned a river yellow, and new research shows that threatened fruit flies may have more diverse offspring.

In 1965, MIT's Lincoln Laboratory saw their Lincoln Calibration Sphere 1 (LCS-1) launched into Earth orbit. It was an empty aluminum sphere and couldn't do any science of its own. But the world's most boring disco ball has played a huge...

This week on SciShow News, toxic waste from an abandoned mine turned a river yellow, and new research shows that threatened fruit flies may have more diverse offspring.

Earlier this spring NASA announced a new research model that predicts that ocean worlds are far from rare, and our galaxy might be full of them. And a new study examines evidence that Pluto may have had an underground ocean all along!

Deep below the surface, the ocean floor is full of riches. There’s gold, iron, and lots of other rare, precious metals. What kind of geochemical processes can leave loot all over the seafloor?

From gigantic planets too close to their stars, to those in unfathomably wide orbits, astronomers have discovered seemingly impossible solar systems that shouldn’t exist at all. But they do.

SciShow explores two celestial mysteries: the origins of a meteorite that crashed into a house in California, and who's releasing chemicals into the atmosphere that were banned more than 25 years ago?

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

No astronauts were harmed in the making of this video.

This week on SciShow Space News, astronauts had to take the scenic route to the ISS because of some space debris. And this month, you might get to see two eclipses: a solar eclipse, and a rare supermoon eclipse.

In 1991 a single atomic nucleus slammed into our atmosphere with the intensity of a macroscopic object. It's been named The Oh-My-God particle.

Biologist Robert Full shares slo-mo video of some captivating critters. Take a closer look at the spiny legs that allow cockroaches to scuttle across mesh and the nanobristle-packed feet that let geckos to run straight up walls.

But maybe don't bust out the moisture farm equipment just yet!

During the age of dinosaurs, a massive asteroid slammed into the Earth, bringing an end to most life at the time. And thanks to new fossil evidence, we've been able to pinpoint a time of year for this event that happened millions of...

The ocean has degraded within our lifetimes, as shown in the decreasing average size of fish. And yet, as Daniel Pauly shows us onstage at Mission Blue, each time the baseline drops, we call it the new "normal." At what point do we stop...

SciShow Space gives you the latest in Space News, including fascinating facts about the latest visitors to the ISS, how to spot the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, and a new discovery in our own celestial neighborhood.

Our lives depend on a world we can't see: the satellite infrastructure we use every day for information, entertainment, communication and so much more. But earth orbit isn't a limitless resource, and the problem of space debris will get...
