SciShow Space explores the supermassive black hole spinning at the center of our galaxy, and how we've all learned to live with it in harmony.

After a long day working on the particle accelerator, you and your friends head to the arcade to unwind. The lights go out for a second, and when they come back, there before you gleams a foosball table. Always game, you insert your...

We’ve seen a distant star from another galaxy far, far away, and the Milky Way is growing, thanks to baby stars born in the outer edge of our galaxy’s disk.

Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi spins through a dizzying array of inspirations -- from '50s pinups to a fleeting glimpse of a woman on the street who makes him shout "Stop the cab!" Inside this rambling talk are real clues to living a...

If you uncover a bunch of rolly pollies under a log, you don't expect to find a bright blue one crawling among all the usual grays and browns. But it turns out your fun surprise is some very bad luck for that terrestrial isopod.

Why do exams always tell you to use a number 2 pencil? What happens if you don't? Quick Questions explains!

Gravitational lensing has given us a look at a galaxy in the very, very distant cosmic past using x-ray light, and NASA finally got its ICON mission off the ground!

Black holes are already pretty extreme, but some stand out among their peers, driving cosmic engines that outshines the rest of the galaxy and even serving as birth control for stars!

Black holes are everywhere, including at the center of our galaxy. But because they’re invisible they’re quite difficult to study. Looking at the disks of material surrounding them, however, can give us tons of clues about how they...

Neutrinos are weird. But all the big unsolved problems in physics are somehow connected to one unsolved mystery: Why do neutrinos have mass?

We’ve created simulations to recreate the difference in time it takes for the Sun’s equator and poles to complete rotations, and the way we’ve solved is a bit surprising. And it looks like the Milky Way may not be great at mixing metals,...

During autumn in the northeastern US, deciduous trees sport a stunning display of yellows, oranges, and reds. But in some places, like Europe, autumn tends to look much more yellow. So why is it that only certain parts of the world get...

The exploding “cow” around 200 million light-years away is running astronomers for a loop, but if it is what some hypothesize, we are witnessing a first for astronomy! Meanwhile, we got photographic evidence of a planet orbiting a binary...

When we say a planet is habitable, we aren't REALLY saying what we think we are saying. 'Habitable' means something else. Is Kepler 186f habitable, in the true sense of the word? And if not, what other planets should we be looking at?...

Some scientists believe that 3.6 billion years ago Earth might have been purple, and that theory is giving us some clues in our search for life in the universe.

Quantum mechanics is weird and seems a bit...complicated. But understanding it can help us to understand the universe.

Learn all about the anglerfish! A creepy-looking, deep-sea-dwelling creature that glows!

All plants get energy from the sun, but the giant hogweed gets another, dangerous superpower from the sun's light: the ability to burn skin with its sap.

The Universe is expanding which means distant galaxies are only moving farther away from us. So in the farthest future, will our night sky be empty?

Their return was delayed for a while, but three ISS crew members are finally home. Plus, engineers have started assembling the Giant Magellan Telescope!

Fire: it's beautiful, it's dangerous, and it shows up in surprising places. Here are five weird things you might have on hand that can go up in flames.

UPDATE: We got a couple of things wrong when it comes to gravity (particularly that it has nothing to do with photons). Science is working tirelessly night and day to disprove its own theories about how the universe works (or at least,...
