What if there were a tunnel through the middle of the earth and you jumped in?

You probably know about the geomagnetic field that protects the earth from solar storms and radiation. But precision satellites have measured ANOTHER magnetic field coming from Earth, and its signals might hold the key to searching for...

What if there were a tunnel through the middle of the earth and you jumped in?

Solar Storms! Moaning Myrtle! Wondering what the frick is behind the solar flares that slammed Earth earlier this week? Hank lays out how that juicy ball of plasma we call the sun causes us trouble from time to time.

In September 1859, miners following the Colorado gold rush woke up to another sunny day. Or so they thought. To their surprise, they soon discovered it was actually 1am and the sky wasn't lit by the sun, but rather by brilliant drapes of...

We're enjoying the summer here in Montana, and to help celebrate we thought we'd put together a compilation of our favorite sun-related episodes from our past. Don't worry, you won't need sunglasses for this one!

Solar storms are really common, but occasionally they can be huge, causing more than pretty light shows in the auroras. What would happen nowadays if we had a massive solar storm?

Space physicist Miho Janvier studies solar storms: giant clouds of particles that escape from the Sun and can disrupt life on Earth (while also producing amazing auroras). How do you study the atmosphere on the Sun, which burns at...

SciShow Space shares the latest news from around the universe, including new details about our next mission to Mars, and a study that predicts a catastrophic solar storm may be more likely than we thought.

Space weather can have a major effect on the technology we rely on. And a large solar flare could cause the most significant weather threat because so much of essential services are powered by a functioning electrical grid and a...

Everything you could want to know about Jupiter.

Or geomagnetic storm, a severe disruption of the Earth's magnetosphere that can cripple satellites, and even cause severe damage to electrical systems on the ground.

In this episode: Fertilizer from poultry waste, ancient shark in 3D, an intelligent desk, WIFIRE, solar superstorms, Alaska Fire and Ice, what you never learned about mass, and more!

Dr. Mark Matney, Space Debris Scientist and Astronomer, talks about the science and history of eclipses. He also describes the total solar eclipse that will sweep over the U.S. on August 21, 2017, and how to safely view it. HWHAP Episode 7.

China’s space administration, the CNSA, currently has a rover exploring the far side of the moon as part of its Chang’e 4 mission. It is also preparing to launch the Chang’e 5 mission this year to collect lunar samples and bring the...

In a flash, all of your electronics could be gone, and you'd be left thanking a solar storm. However, a collaboration of National Science Foundation-funded scientists has created groundbreaking visualizations to help scientists and...

On March 29, 2014, an X-class flare burst off the right side of the sun . . . and NASA was watching.



Coordinating their observations, five NASA observatories and one ground-based telescope were able to see things...

There is perhaps no one better than Jim Garvin to outline the unique opportunities for research that the Artemis missions to the Moon could provide scientists on Earth. Jim is chief scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in...
