It may seem like Earth isn't as well-decorated as its ring-bearing neighbors in the solar system, but new research suggests that may not always have been the case. Not only did our planet maybe once have a ring, but our ancient bling...

Arrokoth, an asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, is the most distant object ever explored by the New Horizons spacecraft. And it's covered in sugar. Here's why that might be important for understanding the nature of life...

Solar eclipses don't just happen here on earth - moons of other planets also pass between those planets and the sun, resulting in various types of solar eclipses on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even non-planets like Pluto,...

From its life-sustaining energy to its explosive geomagnetic storms, the Sun has many mysteries, says astrophysicist Nour E. Rawafi. He sheds light on NASA's latest endeavor to better understand our fiery neighbor and its impact on the...

Join SciShow Space as we complete our tour of the Solar System planets with the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune.

Why is the Solar System Flat?

What IS Angular Momentum?

Earth didn't have water when it formed, but it does now! How did it get wet?

It has NO EDGE. And NO CENTER... or does it?

In the past decade, astronomers have discovered interstellar objects, including a 2014 meteor that collided with Earth and 'Oumuamua in 2017. These objects, moving too fast to be bound by the Sun's gravity, have sparked questions about...

Comets are famous for having space tails. But they're not the only ones! Asteroids, planets, and even stars can rock tails of their own.

In 2017, astronomers discovered 'Oumuamua — the first definitive interstellar visitor to our solar system. But definitive evidence of space rocks that don't just visit but join our solar system is a little more elusive.

From cyclones to snowstorms, Earth is home to some spectacular weather events. But they're nothing compared to what you can find on the other planets in our solar system. Magnetic tornadoes? Ammonia mushballs? Let's (not literally) dive...

Whether you grew up with a poster of the solar system on your bedroom wall or not, you've probably got a specific idea of what the planets look like. From brilliantly blue Neptune to the "red planet" Mars. But if you managed to actually...

In 1961, the astronomer Frank Drake wrote down what is now known as the Drake Equation. It's so important to the culture surrounding the search for extraterrestrial life that scientists have carved it into the upcoming Europa Clipper...

SciShow Space takes you to the moon! Learn about the competing theories about how Earth's closest neighbor formed.

Put on your spacesuits, because we’re off to explore Mars! We’ll learn all about how we could live there, and meet the robots that already do!<br/>

Mars has a ton of amazing features waiting to be explored, but we have to get there first. Thanks to our partners at the Boston Museum Of Science for helping us think about everything we need to plan a trip! Squeaks and Jessi would love...

No one likes being sick, but can you imagine catching a bug while hurling through space? Turns out, this is an issue that many space agencies have worked to study and mitigate. <b<br/>r/>

Right now, discarded parts from old spacecraft, bags of pee, and dead probes are just floating around in space, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Let's take a look at some of the ways we've figured out to reduce, reuse, and recycle in...

More than a classic rock album that'll change your life, this classic space rock has a dark side that has mystified scientists for centuries.

It's always an asteroid heading straight toward us that we worry about, never what happens to us when we head straight toward the asteroid. OSIRIS-REx's experience with Bennu tells us it's worth a thought.

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?

The earth is always moving, and our view of the night sky is slowly but surely changing.
