Join the journey as NASA’s Psyche mission team launches in 2022 to explore a unique metallic asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid, likely made largely of nickel-iron metal mixed with rock, could contain...

Although no one's actually seen the planet that supposedly lurks in the outer solar system, planetary scientists at the California Institute of Technology presented evidence for Planet Nine's existence in January. As a spacecraft...

Can planets exist in multi-star systems, and what would that look like from their perspective? Thanks to Blinkist for sponsoring today's video.

A team of specialists from the University of Geneva has confirmed the existence of an exoplanet orbiting in the habitable zone of a neighboring sun.

On July 4, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) completed its primary mission, a two-year-long survey that imaged about 75% of the starry sky. In capturing this giant mosaic, TESS has found 66...

An international team of astronomers has reported what may be the first example of an intact planet closely orbiting a white dwarf, a dense leftover of a Sun-like star that’s only 40% bigger than Earth. The...

101955 Bennu is one of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors – an asteroid roughly the height of a skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has called home. When OSIRIS-REx arrived on...

This video provides an overview of the structure of our solar system and how gravity plays a crucial role in maintaining this structure. The video begins with the description of the sun at the center of our solar system, and then it...

The Hubble Space Telescope has been revealing the secrets of the universe for over 30 years, but it turns out Hubble has some secrets of its own!



The question is: How much exposure...

In October 2017, The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter celebrates 100 lunar days of being at the Moon. Part 1 of this video series helps explain what a "lunar day" is, and what it means for the spacecraft's mission to have been at the...

The main science goal of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission is to briefly touch down on near-Earth asteroid Bennu and collect a sample of fine-grained material, but the asteroid’s unexpected roughness could pose a hazard to...

I'm sure most of us grew up with the knowledge that Pluto was our solar system's ninth planet. So what changed about the definition?

Since arriving at near-Earth asteroid Bennu in December 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has been studying this small world of boulders, rocks, and loose rubble - and looking for a place to touch down. The goal of OSIRIS-REx...

A fun 3D animated learning episode to support the early years development area of understanding the world. Peter Planet is a Super Geek Hero on a mission to learn. In this mission he takes off in his super space ship and discovers the...

As Elon Musk's Starlink and Jeff Bezos's Project Kuiper race to create high-speed internet using satellites orbiting Earth, there's a small problem that could get in the way: debris. From dead spacecraft that have been around since the...

From the ancient beliefs of Earth being the center of the solar system to the discovery of other planets orbiting the Sun, we delve into the history and classification of these celestial bodies. A planet is an astronomical or celestial...

This video looks at the characteristics of the outer planets, dwarf planets, moons and comets.

How are particles closer to the sun compared to particles farther away? What are terrestrials? Mercury, The Solar System Historian, Part 1

The Hubble Space Telescope has made over 1.5 million observations since its launch in 1990, capturing stunning subjects such as the Eagle Nebula and producing data that has been featured...

This video discusses the concept of planetary movement or orbit. The video also touches on the different shapes of orbits, the forces of gravity that keep objects in orbit, and the balance between momentum and gravity that is necessary...

A new statistical study of planets found by a technique called gravitational microlensing suggests that Neptune-mass worlds are likely the most common type of planet to form in the icy outer realms of planetary...

This live-action video program is about the word Comet. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Comet through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

Europe experienced one of the most remarkable periods in history roughly between 1550 and 1700, when three of history's most important events were occurring simultaneously: the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution....
