Our solar system is a tiny bubble of habitability suspended in a vast universe that mostly wants to kill us. In fact, a good fraction of our own galaxy turns out to be utterly uninhabitable, even for sun—like stellar systems. Is this why...

When we scan the heavens with giant telescopes we see galactic cannibalism everywhere. We see moments that appear frozen on the human timescale, but are really snapshots of the incredibly violent process of galaxy formation. This is how...

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.

Early telegraph operators and WWI spies picked up some weird noises on radio waves. As it turned out, they were actually listening to plasma waves in Earth’s magnetic field lines!

Earth has its share of monster storms, but even our most powerful hurricanes are a breeze compared to the great, planet-sized tempests of the gas giants.

Last time, we learned that there is in fact weather on other planets. But those were the rocky planets, like Earth. What about the big Gas Giants? What's the weather like there? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina takes us on a...

Scientists may have found the light from two merging black holes, and a gas giant, without the gas.

Did you know SciShow has a whole channel dedicated solely to space? Well, we hope you packed warm, cause we’re taking you on a tour through the solar system with these SciShow Space episodes!

Our star continuously throws out streams of charged particles at more than 500 kilometers per second, something we call Solar Wind. And just like regular weather can be unpredictable and dangerous, space weather can be, too. Meanwhile,...

X-rays leaking from dead stars could breathe new life into a hypothetical particle theory, plus an ancient Titanic force may have helped twist Saturn’s axis.

Way out in the solar system, the heat of the Sun drops off dramatically, so the gas giants get just a tiny percent of the solar radiation that reaches Earth. Instead, their weather is fueled from the inside out!

Giant disks around baby stars filled with gas and dust provide the material to make all sorts of planets, and new evidence proves that our solar system’s had a massive gap in it! And the water vapor in Jupiter’s moon, Europa, might not...

Hank fields one of the most commonly asked questions about our solar system: Why does Saturn have rings? Part of the answer has to do with the fact that it's not the only planet that has them. Watch to learn more!

It's a big day for Jessi and Squeaks because they've finally finished their brand new observatory! Join them as they try out their new telescope and take a look back at a compilation of everything we've learned about space so far!

We have some good news this week for all the James Webb fans out there, as well as a look a some creative chemistry that may help us find the first solid evidence of an exomoon!

If you could pilot a spaceship into Jupiter and Saturn, would you ever hit anything solid? And what's it like in there? SciShow Space takes you on a tour of the two biggest gas giants in the solar system.

40 Jupiter Mass Binary Objects - or JuMBOs - discovered by JWST.

Almost everything you could want to know about the 7th planet from the Sun, Uranus.

While tiny, Earth now has a second moon, or natural satellite, named 2020 CD3. So, will we have to rewrite the text books?

Our Sun and the collection of bodies that are bound to it by gravity.
