We owe a lot to our moon. Beautiful moonlit walks, higher tides, and regular seasons - all are made possible by our little rocky friend. But what would happen if we picked up a second moon?

We’ve covered a lot of incredible stuff, but this week we’re talking about the weirdest objects in space: BLACK HOLES. Stellar mass black holes form when a very massive star dies, and its core collapses. The core has to be more than...

Today Phil explores the world of tides! What is the relationship between tides and gravity? How do planets and their moons become tidally locked? What would happen if you were 300km tall? Important questions.

There are renewable energy sources here on Earth, but to meet our clean energy needs we should consider every possible option, including the Moon.

In this video Paul Andersen explains the parts of the Solar System; including the planets, dwarf planets, moons and asteroids. He explains how everything orbits around the Sun and how a proper understanding of this heliocentric model...

Organisms of all shapes and sizes synchronize their behaviors using biological clocks. Some keep pace with the daily rising and setting sun using circadian rhythms. Others use annual cycles or the changing seasons as their cue. But many...

Discover "The Moon" with our catchy video that makes learning about Earth's satellite fun and engaging! Perfect for kids, this tune will spark your imagination and teach you interesting facts about the Moon's phases and features.

The moon takes approximately 27 and 1/3 days to orbit the Earth, but due to the Earth's movement, it appears to return to the same position in the sky after 29 and a half days, a period known as a lunar month. During this cycle, the...

The moon is Earth's only natural satellite, the fifth largest in our solar system, and appears bright in our night sky due to sunlight reflection. Despite its significant appearance, the moon is much smaller than Earth, being only...

The catastrophic effects of the ‘Lunar Nodal Cycle’.

An increase in Earths rotational speed could have various impacts on life: ranging from increased earthquakes and tsunamis to a shortening of the length of the day. People could be floating in central Africa while the polar ice might...
