We can't use tape measures, rulers or lasers to measure the astronomical distances to stars and galaxies, so how do we do it?

This video explains how telescopes can act as time machines, allowing us to see objects in space as they appeared millions of years ago. By measuring distances in light years and understanding the speed of light, scientists can observe...

Two new studies have called into question the size of the “impossibly big” black hole named LB-1.

The Hubble Space Telescope is well known for its incredible images. But what of those among us who are visually impaired? To help spread awareness as a part of World Sight Day, this video is meant to share the importance of different...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a spooky new image staring out from the depths of the cosmos. The new image reveals the twin galaxies AM 2026-424 — a pair of interacting galaxies that may foreshadow our Milky Way’s own...

NASA’s Thermal Blanket Lab is a vital part of ensuring that the important equipment that we send into space remains protected from getting either too hot or too cold. Paula Cain is one of the talented thermal blanket technicians who uses...

This sonification of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2014) image plays a note for each galaxy when it emitted the light captured in this image. The farther away the galaxy is, the longer its light has traveled before reaching the Hubble...

A new video miniseries explores the intricate world of operating the Hubble Space Telescope. In Hubble – Eye in the Sky, viewers get an inside look at the challenges of operating the telescope, along with an understanding of the...

This video is my attempt to help my wife understand the Pillars of Creation. In doing so I show where they are in the Eagle Nebula, define a lightyear, determine how far it is from the Earth to the Sun, demonstrate the speed of sound,...

Astrophyscists and astonomers will use the James Webb Space Telescope to unravel mysteries about the evolution of the Universe. The Webb telscope will help observe how the first stars gathered into the first galaxies, and those first...

About 5,000 light-years from Earth, the stunning nebula NGC 2392 formed after the demise of a star like our Sun. In this sonification, the image is scanned clockwise like a radar. The radius is mapped to pitch, so light farther from the...

NASA's GLAST mission is an astrophysics and particle physics partnership, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, along with important contributions from academic institiutions and partners in France, Germany,...

From concept to reality, that's the NASA way. Since the first directive to put a man on the moon, NASA has been on the cutting edge of technology and innovation and continues to turn the impossible into the possible everyday. This video...

On April 24, 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 30th year in orbit by premiering a never-before-seen view of two stunning nebulas named NGC 2020 and NGC 2014. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to uncover the...

The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 1300’s arms hold blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds of star formation, and dark lanes of dust. To represent this image with sound, scientists assigned louder volume to brighter light. Light farther...

We all know the perfect, symmetrical and flawless galaxies Hubble has set its lense on, but there is also a catalogue dedicated to the most peculiar galaxies out there... The Arp Catalogue

A new study using observations from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveals the first clear-cut evidence that the expanding debris of exploded stars produces some of the fastest-moving matter in the universe. This discovery is a...

Hubble has taken some spectacular images of many different galaxies, but it can't resolve more than a few blobs on Pluto's surface. Why is that?

Get My Job explores the day in the life of different professions around Australia. In this episode we meet an Astrophysicist.

O-type stars are among the most massive and hottest known, pounding their surroundings with intense ultraviolet light and powerful outflows called stellar winds. NASA's Swift and ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatories took part in a 2011...

Yesterday, on the 31st May 2020, NASA and SpaceX successfully docked their Dragon capsule with the ISS. But what makes this event so significant?

Learn all about quasars, extremely bright objects in outer space powered by black holes. This video explains how they were discovered, their connection to supermassive black holes, and their significance in understanding the early...

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse. Why were you dimming? Scientists may have finally come up with the answer thanks to data from Hubble.

NASA has begun work on an ambitious new project that will carry a cutting-edge telescope high into the stratosphere on a balloon.
