SciShow Space takes you to a distant, ancient black hole that … really shouldn’t be, and psyches you up for the Dawn spacecraft’s final approach to Ceres!

As we react to the predictions that epidemiological models make, changing the ways we act and go about our lives, those estimates can appear totally off. But if a model’s predictions end up being wrong, that might mean it's done exactly...

This week, a group of researchers use nuclear fallout to figure out how old liver cells are, while another gets one step closer to predicting volcanic eruptions.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how an overall chemical reaction is made up of several elementary steps. The stoichiometry of this equation can be predicted but the rate law must be measured. If the elementary steps of the...

Around 500 Million years ago, Earth’s climate was warm, and the planet had nearly no ice, even at the poles. Then an asteroid broke apart deep in our solar system, and our planet plunged into an ice age at the same time. Are the two...

Now that gravitational waves are definitely a thing, it's time to think about some of the crazy things we can figure out with them. In some cases we're going to need a gravitational wave observatory - in fact, we've already built one.

The ESA Hipparcos team worked for 20 years on the project, then had to watch as the mission ALMOST failed! But somehow, they turned it around, and today, this little-known mission has totally transformed what we know about space.

We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to the things they don't, says poet and teacher Clint Smith. A short, powerful piece from the heart, about finding the courage to speak up...

The Cassini probe is getting more dangerous assignments as its mission nears its end, and the sun's surface may be simpler than we once thought.

Planarians are flatworms most known for being able to grow a new head if it gets cut off, but perhaps even stranger is the fact that their new head retains some of the memories from the old one.

Poop kind of stinks, but the stuff inside of poop can tell us a lot about the natural world.

It's virtually impossible to tell where a meteorite comes from, but in 2018, scientists were able to pull a feat of forensic astronomy and do just that.

Schiaparelli crashing into Mars wasn't exactly what the Exomars mission scientists were hoping for, but we're still going to get some useful information from the little probe's descent. And scientists have observed two of the brightest...

Two years ago we were very excited about the announcement of water on Mars, but some new research challenges that idea. And one of our most successful exoplanet finding tools has discovered another one, this time pretty close to home!

Asteroid 3200 Phaethon got closer than it will be until 2093, and the reflecting light has astronomers puzzled, and the relationship between black holes and magnetic fields is now a little more clear.

Unless you saw the spider bite you, that swollen, bite-looking lesion on your arm is probably something else, and blaming it on an innocent 8-legged critter might do more harm than good.

The auroras are one of earth's most dazzling displays, but thanks to Joan Feynman we know that they're so much more.

Scientists were able to get molecular information from 1.7 million years old teeth using a new method that could completely change how we study extinct organisms.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how linear motion of an object can be measured using the center of mass. Internal forces within the object can be ignored since they exist in action reaction pairs. A simple way to determine the...

There's something out there SO massive that it's pulling on every object within hundreds of millions of light years. But we can't see it! So what DO we know? Today on SciShow Space, Reid Reimers tells us more about the Great Attractor.

How does a city become known as a "music city"? Publicist Elizabeth Cawein explains how thriving music scenes make cities healthier and happier and shares ideas for bolstering your local music scene -- and showing off your city's talent...

The Tyrannosaurus genus might have been more diverse than we thought. And researchers show how the composition of the early Earth could have accelerated its move towards habitability.

Scientists are turning wastewater into fuel, using special bacteria, and other scientists have unveiled bionic mushrooms that can produce electricity!

So, how do we go about being engineers? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks to us about the Engineering Process and why we should do things in order, as well as many of the questions we should ask along the way. This...
