Let's face it: The Earth is going to get...

Where did life come from? It’s one of the biggest questions humans have ever asked — and the answer might be locked in ancient space rocks that were around before life began. To find out, NASA pulled off one of its most ambitious...

In the mid-1990s, a meteorite with the unmemorable name ALH84001 became the most famous rock in the world. Because one team of scientists proposed that it had the evidence of real, if microscopic, Martians.

If you take a look at all the impact craters in our solar system, the vast majority are nice, neat circles. But why? Meteorites and asteroids strike planets and moons at all sorts of angles. Where are all the elliptical craters?

Squeaks and Jessi are having all of their friends over for Thanksgiving, so they’re looking back at videos they made together so they can figure out what food to make!

Hank sets the record straight for us, discussing a rain of spiders in Brazil (!?), a new virus that has the internet all a-twitter, and another asteroid recently found to have hit the Earth (not the one in Siberia!) - are...

SciShow Space preps you for the Delta Aquarids, a meteor shower, and explains what makes them so unique. Plus, join "aquanauts" on one of NASA's least-known missions, a nine-day tour in its NEEMO undersea laboratory.

Maybe you'd like to just hear about one topic for a while. We understand. So today, let's just watch some videos about Gravity. We'll learn about why we don't fly off into space, what mass has to do with it, how does air resistance work,...

Sabrina gets a new set in this episode of Crash Course Kids. Do you want to be an astronaut? Would you like to someday walk on the moon? Well, you better learn a little about gravity so you can escape from Earth and head into space....

The spiral of the Milky Way is not as smooth as we once thought because an arm not so far from home appears to be broken! And we may have discovered the answer to why a local asteroid puts on the appearance of a comet.

Maybe you've seen a shooting star, a bright streak of light that zips across the sky! But did you know that those shooting stars are actually rocks falling from space? And sometimes you can find them on the ground! Find out how...

Analysis of a space rock that landed on a frozen Michigan lake revealed a rich array of extraterrestrial organic compounds. Learn how the meteorite might have been incorporated into life on Earth.

This video explores the fascinating world of meteorites, discussing their size, frequency of occurrence, and their role in meteor showers. It also highlights the rarity of meteorites making landfall and the largest known meteorite, the...

Let's learn about the differences between asteroids, comets, and meteors!

At a speed of 19 kilometers per second, the huge rock would cause quite a lot of damage if it circles back and hits Earth on its orbit around the Sun.

The Earth’s busy orbit is occupied by space junk, nearly 5,000 artificial satellites, the Moon and now a possible temporary resident ‘minimoon’ called 2020 CD3. <br/>

Scientists have made a breakthrough revealing a form of "cosmic blindness" caused by the Sun’s glare, which hides potentially dangerous Earth-killer asteroids from detection.

Astronomers led by Valerio Carruba (UNESP) discovered a mostly hidden group of asteroids orbiting the Sun alongside Venus. These Venus co-orbitals share Venus’s orbital period but aren’t its satellites.

Ruth Hamilton says she was sound asleep before being startled awake by her barking dog, a crash through her ceiling and debris on her face. It wasn't until after the B.C. woman called 911 that she noticed the meteorite between her pillows.
