We are in the Golden Age of Solar Eclipses, but only for the moment. In fact, I'd argue we're already past peak solar eclipse and it's all downhill from here.

The moon orbits the earth once per month, which means the moon is on the sun side of the earth every month. So... "why aren't there eclipses every month?" is a question we will answer in this video!

Solar eclipses don't just happen here on earth - moons of other planets also pass between those planets and the sun, resulting in various types of solar eclipses on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even non-planets like Pluto,...

The sun rises in the east, the moon rises in the east, and the stars rise in the east... but solar eclipses, oddly, come from the west. If total eclipses are caused by the sun and the moon, why don't they behave like the sun and the moon?

Solar eclipses can happen anywhere on earth, but if you want to see a total eclipse, you need to go to the far north, because the Earth’s shape and orbit determine the high latitudes and eclipse hotspot.

For centuries, humans have reported animals freaking out during solar eclipses, like birds falling from the sky and bees hiding in their hives, but the animals most affected by eclipses might be us.

There's an eclipse coming up in April of 2024! You'd think it takes a lot of modern technology for us to know about it, but it turns out that humans have been able to predict eclipses for nearly three thousand years. And we've been...

Because eclipses are powerful and frightening events, ancient cultures went to great lengths to understand eclipses, leading to remarkably accurate predictions and helping invent the science of astronomy.

It’s common knowledge that you should never look directly at the sun. But, like, what about during an eclipse? Surely you can look then?

Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist said “Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded .” Is what we see perceived to be real or is it an illusion?

In the world of our mind’s eye, light travels in a straight line....

Earth has seasons, but what about the rest of the planets in the solar system? Let’s take a tour from Mercury to Pluto and see what seasons would be like on all our planetary neighbors. Bring a sweater!

Jen Fowler of the Montana Space Grant Consortium joins us this week to talk about her work with weather balloons and the upcoming solar eclipse, and Jessi from Animal Wonders brings along Gaia the Southern Three-Banded Armadillo!

Astronomers took advantage of a lunar eclipse to study Earth as if it were an exoplanet, and Mars's Insight lander used seismic data to reveal for the first time boundaries between different layers of Mars.

Jessi and Squeaks show you how to make a pinhole viewer so you can safely watch the solar eclipse!

Two astronauts are about to embark on the One Year Mission which can help us understand more about the long-term effects of being in space, and there is an upcoming total lunar eclipse (the shortest one this century)!

What causes the Blood Moon?

Last week, seven earth-like planets were discovered orbiting a Red Dwarf star 39 light years away. Each one could be capable of supporting life.

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

The big question in the comments last week was, "BUT WHAT ABOUT ECLIPSES?" Today, Phil breaks 'em down for you.

Jen Fowler of the Montana Space Grant Consortium joins us this week to talk about her work with weather balloons and the upcoming solar eclipse, and Jessi from Animal Wonders brings along Gaia the Southern Three-Banded Armadillo!

There's an Eclipse coming on August 21st, and Jessi and Squeaks are PUMPED! Today, they'll show you where in the world you'll be able to see the eclipse, what happens during an eclipse, and tell you how you can watch the eclipse safely!

Get your eclipse glasses ready because the a total solar eclipse is an astronomical event unlike any other.

On August 21, 2017, the United States will experience its first total solar eclipse since 1979! If you're in the right place at the right time, you're in for a spectacular show!

In this episode of SciShow Kids, Jessi talks about solar eclipses, and in particular, the solar eclipse of 2015! Jessi will show you how eclipses occur and where the best places to view the eclipse are.
