Astronomers have found the best evidence for a black hole of an elusive class known as “intermediate-mass,” which betrayed its existence by tearing apart a wayward star that passed too close. This exciting discovery opens the door to the...

30 years ago, the Hubble Space Telescope unlocked a window on the universe. Through that window we’ve seen the wonders of our Milky Way and expanded our vision across the galaxy. From the birth and death of stars to the baby pictures of...

ISRO are stepping up their game with their upcoming space missions. What do they hope to achieve?

Astrum investigates some examples of the longest and shortest years that we know of. The differences are mind-boggling!

A study of 544 star-forming galaxies observed by the Keck and Hubble telescopes shows that disk galaxies like our own Milky Way unexpectedly reached their current state long after much of the universe's star formation had ceased. Over...

This video provides a brief yet intriguing overview of black holes, explaining their formation, characteristics, and different types. It highlights the challenges scientists face in directly observing black holes and explores the...

The Hubble Space Telescope is keeping watch over many, many galaxies using the combined superpowers of its incredible optics and a quirk of nature called gravitational lensing. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Katrina Jackson...

Take a space walk through the Milky Way galaxy, our home in the vast universe. Exploring the origins of its name and the concept of galaxies, the video delves into the size, shape, and composition of the Milky Way. It also highlights the...

What new findings have we discovered about our favourite little world, Pluto?

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 live-action video program is about the word universe. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word universe through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...

Did you know that everything is moving? Even you, as you're sitting perfectly still, because the earth is moving, and the sun, and the galaxy, and so forth. For this reason, it only makes sense to talk about the motion of some object...

Just as our own sun has many planets, other stars also have planets of their own. These are called exoplanets. The first of these was discovered in the 1990s, and since then, thousands of others have been found, thanks largely to the...

What is a black hole? How is it formed? And where are they? In this video, learn from Space Science specialist Douglas Equils about one of the most massive and mysterious things in our universe, black holes. From the GCSE / K12 "Earth...

Almost everything you could want to know about the 7th planet from the Sun, Uranus.

This animated video is all about The Sun. Students will love this engaging and interactive video.

The world is said to be a big place, but the universe is much bigger and what’s more, it’s expanding all the time. How do we know this? Because of the evidence provided by red shift.

The video is a lecture presentation on the topic of the expanding universe. The speaker discusses evidence and the Big Bang theory, which suggests that the universe began from a small, dense region and has been expanding for...

How many movies have you seen about aliens? Are any of them realistic? Does intelligent life exist elsewhere in the universe or are we totally alone? Both options are rather terrifying, frankly. But there are scientists that spend their...

One type of object that some astronomers study is called a quasar. When these were first discovered, it was a bit confusing as to precisely what they are, which is why quasar stands for quasi-stellar object, since we thought they looked...
