By the end of this learning object, the student will be able to: Explain the solar system components.

In this video, we explore comets, which are believed to be chunks of dirty ice left over from the formation of the solar system. Delve into the history of comets and the discovery of their highly elliptical orbits with long periods. The...

This video discusses the two main types of elephants, their distribution across different regions, and the challenges they face due to human encroachment. The video highlights efforts by park rangers to protect elephants by attaching...

This video takes the reader through the first part of the space alphabet adventure, covering letters A to E. It includes explanations of asteroids, black holes, comets, dwarf planets, and Earth, as discovered by the characters in...

The Rosetta Stone video discusses the significance of the ancient artifact and introduces the Rosetta space probe, built by the European Space Agency, which aims to study comets and the origins of our solar system. The video explains the...

The Rosetta Stone, a 2000-year-old artifact, unlocked the secrets of ancient languages. Now, the Rosetta probe aims to unlock the secrets of our solar system by studying a comet. This sophisticated probe will journey over 1 billion...

Five experts describe how their attitudes and approaches to research were strongly influenced by the insights or attitudes of others. Featured are: Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose (University of Oxford), Artur Ekert (University of Oxford &...

In this video you'll find meteor facts , Asteroid facts , and comet facts . Brought to you by KLT. Don't forget to sing along!

Dr. Forrester defines the terms comet, asteroid, meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites by classifying them as objects found within space. She also discusses the Chicxulub crater at the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and the theory...

This video examines the force of gravity and looks at its critical role in the formation of the sun and planets of our solar system.

This video examines details relating to the planets Earth, Mars and their moons, as well as the Asteroid Belt.

Let's learn about the differences between asteroids, comets, and meteors!

Sometimes, the acceptance of a lack of knowledge is far more valuable than conjecture. That being said, let’s talk about what we do know, because regardless, it is very weird.

This video explores five fun facts about comets.

This video provides a detailed overview of the structure and location of our solar system, including the orbits of different celestial bodies and the gravitational forces that keep them in place. It also explores the location of our...

With all the focus on the Coronavirus, it made me wonder how viruses would cope in space generally. This led on to other questions like "do we contaminate other worlds with Earth based life?" and "can alien bacteria and viruses thrive...

The impact of comets on the surface of Jupiter are a fairly common experience. At the University of Central Florida, astronomers Joseph Harrington and Csaba Palotai are leading a project that studies precisely how these impacts happen,...

This video is a lecture presentation on orbits. It discusses how an object remains in orbit and what affects the orbital speed of an object. The presenter explains the role gravity plays in keeping celestial bodies in orbit and gives...

Upon viewing the Our Distant Neighbors video series, students will be able to do the following: Create a simple diagram of the sun and the orbital paths of each planet around the sun. Label each of the eight planets. Explain that the sun...

The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter has been given the rare opportunity to conduct some “bonus science” in a serendipitous rendezvous with the tails of the comet ATLAS during the next few days, the space agency detailed in an...
