Big Data is everywhere — even the skies. In an informative talk, astronomer Andrew Connolly shows how large amounts of data are being collected about our universe, recording it in its ever-changing moods. Just how do scientists capture...

Astronomer Dr. Jane Rigby challenges the limits of the naked eye. Having influenced most famous telescopes that come to mind, her work is defined by breaking boundaries both physical and beyond.

There's something out there SO massive that it's pulling on every object within hundreds of millions of light years. But we can't see it! So what DO we know? Today on SciShow Space, Reid Reimers tells us more about the Great Attractor.

Linking together the histories of Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Edwin Hubble and Tracy K. Smith, poet and thinker Maria Popova crafts an astonishing story of how humanity came to see the edge of the observable universe. (Followed by an...

How many stars are there in the universe? Are there more stars out there than grains of sand on Earth? Thanks to advanced space telescopes, we've been able to peer farther into deep time and the distant universe than we ever thought...

2020 wasn't ALL bad news. This year scientists found ludicrously fast stars, ancient galaxy clusters, and developed a camera that could change how we study the night sky.

Humans have been studying the stars for thousands of years, but astrophysicist Juna Kollmeier is on a special mission: creating the most detailed 3-D maps of the universe ever made. Journey across the cosmos as she shares her team's work...

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...

There’s a massive black hole next door that appears far too big for its host galaxy! And in another galaxy, TWO supermassive black holes formed, giving us a glimpse at a true rarity in astronomy!

But maybe don't bust out the moisture farm equipment just yet!

ESA's newest printer at the DLR German Aerospace Center in Cologne,

Aatish Bhatia helped write this video! A big thanks for his help! Here's his blogref='http://www.empiricalzeal.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>blog The universe is expanding – this we know from looking at red shifts of distant...

Hank continues our series on the four fundamental forces of physics with a description of gravitation -the interaction by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to that of their masses, and which is responsible for...

The effects of dark matter on galaxies is a mystifying and difficult thing to study, but the Milky Way's galactic bar might present an exciting way to quantify how much of it exists!

In a fun, exciting talk, teenager Henry Lin looks at something unexpected in the sky: distant galaxy clusters. By studying the properties of the universe's largest pieces, says the Intel Science Fair award winner, we can learn quite a...

The first full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope are finally here! Let's take a look, talk about what we're seeing, and compare them to the most detailed version of these images we had before.

Some scientists are hoping to use our motion through the galaxy to help detect some of the most elusive particles of all: dark matter.

The majority of the universe is made up of a currently mysterious entity that pervades space: dark energy. We don’t know exactly what it is, but we do know that dark energy accelerates the expansion of space. We think this means the...

Most galaxies that we know of are spirals, including the Milky Way, but how do they form and keep their shape over billions of years?

We've found the first evidence of planets outside of the Milky Way, and SpaceX has finally launched the Falcon Heavy rocket into space!

The International Ultraviolet Explorer was the first of its kind, giving us glimpses into phenomena like supernovas and Halley's comet. So why do we hear so little about it?"

Most of the universe is made up of dark matter, so could it form into stars and galaxies like regular matter?

There might be a galaxy made mostly of dark matter orbiting the Milky Way!

All the complexity in the universe ultimately owes its existence to one of the simplest materials possible: molecular hydrogen. And not only did this molecule play a huge role in building the universe as we know it, today, it also helps...
