Astrophysicists have discovered an exoplanet that lost its atmosphere, but then, somehow, grew it back! Also, astronomers used satellite data to find a magnetic hurricane above the north pole that we almost missed!

NASA’s Magellan mission gave us unprecedented insight into Venus’s rocky surface, and even now, more than 25 years after the mission ended, it’s still one of our main tools for learning about our mysterious, next-door neighbor.

Did you know Einstein never thought we’d find actual black holes in space? It took decades of research to show black holes are physically possible, and some of the scientists behind that research were honored this year with the Nobel...

A dwarf galaxy crashing through the Milky Way billions of years ago could have set off periods of star formation, and astronomers recently captured a rare flashing phenomenon that only shows up in the sky for a few days!

We’ve done a surprising amount of exploration on Mars, from its atmosphere, to its surface, and miles deep into its canyons. But mapping its insides has been a quandary that we hadn’t been able to solve until last week!

Considering how massive our universe is, we know the distances to cosmic objects surprisingly well. What tools and clues do scientists use to measure distances that are so enormous they sound like made-up numbers?

The James Webb Space Telescope is a miracle of modern science and engineering. With a 21-foot, gold-coated mirror protected by a sunshield that's the size of a tennis court, it's the world's most powerful telescope and humanity's latest...

In the early days of spaceflight, if NASA needed to plot a rocket's path or confirm a computer's calculations, they knew who to ask: Katherine Johnson.

The satellite launched in February, but in March, it malfunctioned, spun out of control, and broke into pieces. The mission was declared a failure. But! Before it failed, Hitomi managed a couple days' worth of observations.

SciShow Space shares four wonderful things that you probably use every day, all made possible by NASA technology.

The telescopes of tomorrow will see in infrared and ultraviolet. They will peer through space and scan across time. They will allow us to find new supernovae, spot potentially hazardous asteroids, better understand dark energy and peer...

How to teleport Schrödinger’s cat: this video presents the full quantum teleportation procedure, in which an arbitrary qubit (spin, etc) is teleported from Alice to Bob by way of a pair of particles entangled in a bell (EPR) state and...

Last week we lost legendary scientist Stephen Hawking. To honor of one of the greatest legacies in cosmology, we wanted to celebrate and unpack some of his most famous findings.

Solar tornadoes are not tornadoes, and scientists are studying a black hole with a telescope bigger than the earth!

For the first time ever we have visual confirmation that black holes actually exist and we got it with a telescope the size of our planet.

Everyone is watching the sky during a solar eclipse, but but if you look down, you'll catch another kind of light show.

Space technology gets applied in all sorts of ways down here on Earth, making us more comfortable, healthier, and even saving lives!

A trip into space produces physiological effects in human beings, but it can also change a person in a profound, psychological way.

We’ve discovered what appears to be the first known moon outside of the solar system and new models of Europa’s surface predict the presence of ice blades!

You called it, and we are grateful! Hank analyzes what went wrong with our intro, which gave us the perfect opportunity to talk about the awesomeness that is the Apollo Lunar Lander!

We’ve been sitting on samples of the lunar surface for decades and, with better technology than when they were taken, we are opening them back up to take another look!

Sci-Fi worlds may have giant worms or twin suns, but those are pretty cozy compared to these wild worlds.

Developing new methods for survival in space is a constant and ever-evolving process, and a well known Earthly organism has the potential for multiple applications within space’s unforgiving environment!

Is there life on Venus? If there is, it would have to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen! New evidence means the possibility of life there is in question, but it could also mean a few other things.
