We have new insights into the bizarre nature of lava planets, and the icy moon Europa may yet reveal some of her salty secrets.

This week on SciShow Space News, we finally find out what’s causing those dark lines on Europa. Plus, learn how to become space-famous!

Nearly everyone has some experience with the illustriously branded brine shrimp, but there’s a whole lot more to the creatures’ resilience than what it says on the box.

The HMS Challenger embarked in the 1870s to survey the world’s oceans. The data the expedition collected is still being used over 100 years later to inform what we know about climate change.

Salt dissolves in water; oil does not. But why? You can think of that glass of water as a big, bumpin' dance party where the water molecules are always switching dance partners -- and they'd much rather dance with a salt ion. John...

You'd think that animals that lived in water wouldn't have to drink it -- but some fish do. Learn all about how different kinds of fish get the fresh water that they need to survive.

Squeaks loves collecting shiny pennies, but sometimes he finds one that's sort of grimy and dull. Lucky for him, Jessi knows a really cool science trick to clean up those tarnished pennies!

We have many alternatives to sugar, but where are all the salt substitutes?

The world needs clean water, and more and more, we're pulling it from the oceans, desalinating it, and drinking it. But what to do with the salty brine left behind? In this intriguing short talk, TED Fellow Damian Palin proposes an idea:...

Salting roads in the winter is pretty commonplace in areas of the world that see freezing temperatures, but it isn't the only solution.

Dihydrogen monoxide (better know as water) is the key to nearly everything. It falls from the sky, makes up 60% of our bodies, and just about every chemical process related to life takes place with it or in it. Without it, none...

Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them. -- In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed...

There's nothing better than going for a swim on a hot summer day! Sometimes, though, when you jump in the water, you might get a whole bunch of it up your nose! It's no fun, but why exactly does it hurt so much?
