In episode 18, Jordan and Charlie chat about the island rule, how spiral galaxies get their shape and the small brains in social wasps. Provided by the National Science Foundation

Scientists have discovered the remnants of what they call a “fossil” galaxy buried in the inner depths of the Milky Way.

It seems counterintuitive, but ESA's newest space telescope, CHEOPS, is designed to take blurry images of stars. But this helps astronomers to understand more about orbiting exoplanets than a clear image would. Here's why!

These aren't the droids you're looking for. But it is the video you're looking for! Jedi mind tricks are one of the most interesting incarnations of the Force. They seem almost magical. However, in this video, we see that Jedi mind...

Explain the process of transporting an antenna. Why are the antenna moved into different configurations? What discoveries did the scientists find recently? What do you need to know in order to work in this field?

The Very Large...

Is it a coincidence? Or is something else at play here?

In 2017, Cassini ended its mission by disintegrating in Saturn's atmosphere. What were the final images it ever took?

This video provides an overview of The Big Bang Theory, which is a theory about the evolution of the universe. The narrator explains how the redshift of light emitted by galaxies that are moving away from Earth provides evidence for the...

Astronomers observed a black hole sucking in a faraway star, shredding it into thin strands of stellar material.

Astronomers have seen light from BEHIND a black hole for the first time. I explained the discovery and results to my editor, Levi. Congrats to D. Wilkins and the astronomy team!

Almost everything you could want to know about Saturn's sixth largest moon, Enceladus.

Bootcut jeans, butterfly clips and... flip phones? Y2K trends are back in a big way, and that includes Motorola Razr nostalgia. But of course, in 2021, the technology of yesteryear has gotten a huge makeover. Microsoft's recently...

Oumuamua and Borisov are not the only interstellar interlopers. We know of many more. Here's what we know about them so far.

Most large galaxies contain a giant central black hole. In an active galaxy, matter falling toward the supermassive black hole powers high-energy emissions so intense that two classes of active galaxies, quasars and blazars, rank as...

Gravitational microlensing events are revealing the mysteries of rogue planets, but what are they, and how does it work? And what role does the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope play in helping us spot more rogue planets in the future?

Why wasn't it Hubble that imaged M87*, or Messier 87's supermassive black hole? Is the Event Horizon Telescope more powerful?

Dr. Clara Sousa-Silva is the co-author on the study about Phosphine on Venus. We ask her some questions from you about the discovery.

Have you ever wondered if planets are still being formed? Dr. Debra Fischer answers your question in this special “Mysteries of the Cosmos” edition of Ask a Scientist.

The Fermi Paradox raises the question of why, despite the vast number of potentially habitable planets, we have not yet found evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. This video explores possible explanations, including the rarity...

All of this Trump and Kim Jong Un drama on earth is mere child's play compared to these ways that our own Universe could wipe us out today!

Astronomers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa., have used NASA's Swift satellite to create the most detailed surveys of the Large and...
