If you've spent enough time on the internet, you may have stumbled upon the fact that sharks are older than Polaris, aka the North Star. But are they really? It turns out the truth is a little more complicated.

Earth’s magnetic field is special! And, in the last 20 years, we’ve made incredible discoveries, thanks to a squad of probes that have flown around our planet, observing solar wind as a team!

Hank goes from space to sex and then to motherhood, covering the SpaceX launch, a mission to the moons of Jupiter, intersexual workplace rivalries, the evolution of male homosexuality, the fossil evidence of squishy baby skulls, toddler...

Hank fills us in on the four exploratory missions to space that he is most excited about - New Horizons is going to Pluto and the Kuiper belt; Juno is on it's way to Jupiter; Dawn is exploring two large asteroids; Rosetta will land on a...

Scientists have taken a look at the underground lake found on Mars in 2018, and it might not be the only one! Plus, new clues might help us understand why the Sun’s atmosphere is so much hotter than the surface!

That asteroid the headlines have been warning people about isn't likely to actually hit us, and scientists might have solved a mystery that could save lives: the relationship between tides and earthquakes.

The James Webb Space Telescope released its first official batch of photos to the public, but they weren't the first images the telescope captured since they had taken a bunch while testing the cameras. Let's talk about some of those...

Astronomers looking farther back in time than ever before are giving us a better idea of what the early universe must have been like, and we've identified another of the mysterious ultraluminous X-ray pulsars.
