This video discusses the advancements in optical interferometry, a technique that combines light from multiple telescopes to create sharper images of stars and galaxies. With the use of the Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers are...

We can't use tape measures, rulers or lasers to measure the astronomical distances to stars and galaxies, so how do we do it?

SciShow Space shares the latest news from around the universe, including the first observation of a star-within-a-star, and the debut image from the newest telescope to be enlisted in the hunt for alien worlds.

SciShow explains the science of detecting exoplanets -- planets in orbit around distant stars -- and how a new observatory being built in California may open up whole new worlds to us, literally!

Scientists have discovered a shard of a planet that survived the death of its star and TESS has found the first direct evidence of an exocomet.

We’ve discovered a planet that, for its size, is in a very strange place around it’s star! And other scientists, inspired by comets, have come up with a new way to potentially make breathable oxygen for people exploring Mars in the future.

Last week we covered multiple star systems, but what if we added thousands or even millions of stars to the mix? A star cluster. There are different kinds of clusters, though. Open clusters contain hundreds or thousands of stars held...

Hank tells us about the Kepler Space Telescope and its new data!

Extreme environments full of life on Earth have led researchers to expand the definition of habitability to something that includes many more planets, potentially leading us to evidence of living things in a dramatically shorter time!...

The shape, contents and future of the universe are all intricately related. We know that it's mostly flat; we know that it's made up of baryonic matter (like stars and planets), but mostly dark matter and dark energy; and we know that...

SciShow Space News takes you to the solar system's own Death Star -- Saturn's moon Mimas, where something mysterious is going on. Plus, we share a stunning new photo from the Hubble Space Telescope that holds a few surprises!

Let's say goodbye to 2024 by highlighting some amazing space images that were released this year. They aren't just pretty — astronomers can actually study them to learn more about the universe!

NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and retired Spitzer Space Telescope have found a young Neptune-size world orbiting AU Microscopii, a cool, nearby M dwarf star surrounded by a vast disk of debris. The...
