It’s common knowledge that you should never look directly at the sun. But, like, what about during an eclipse? Surely you can look then?

While Earth’s natural history has been playing out over the last few billion years, another epic planetary saga has also been unfolding right next door.

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!

Why are we sending a rocket into the sun? SciShow Space explains the why, what and how of Solar Probe Plus, a mission that'll give us our closest look yet at our nearest star.

SciShow Space shares the latest news from the around the universe, including the first supernova observed in real time, and Internet service on the moon. Finally!

The Ulysses mission revolutionized our understanding of the sun, but it's been the only orbiter to take this kind of out-of-ecliptic journey. Will an upcoming mission give us even more?

Though our Sun is something we can count on to rise and set each day, it also comes with some phenomena that can catch us by surprise: solar winds. To better predict when these winds will travel all the way to Earth, we sent the Parker...

Are there ways to terraform Mars -- that is, make it habitable for humans? Some scientists think so. They have big plans, but they also face some big obstacles.

Also known as the Northern or Southern Lights. Natural displays of light in the polar regions, clearly visible in the night sky.
